Garden Under Glass. The French developed the glass cloche, or bell jar, formed of a solid piece of glass shaped like a dome. The purpose was to protect an early garden plant from bleak cold and frost. This would hasten their crops to maturity. The Dutch and English expanded the idea with handlights, lantern style, faceted pyramidal covers made from glass panes and frames of cast iron. Today French cloches', Dutch and English handlights styles are much on the garden scene. As well as functional, they make a wonderful garden accent. Accent your garden table, or use as a food cover for your next gathering.
Available in three sizes

A garden cloche is open on the bottom and sits directly on the soil, so plants can be started in the ground earlier, or potted plants and seedlings can be raised until ready to transplant. Like a greenhouse, it offers climate control and protection from pests, wind and weather. It also has the advantage of being able to move from bed to bed as your plantings progress |
