Do you know what's is made out of? Pots or one in the ground?

Personally I think they are lovely and I love the symbolism - the wheel being the wheel of eternal life.

Crimbo pressie?

On a practical level, they are a means of keeping the herbs together but the roots separated. Beyond this, the concept has been organised to make the wheel attractive, and as Aqui has pointed out, there is symbolism there as well. A rather nice gift, I would have thought ...

Derekthefox :D

saw them in a catalouge recently....

thought i would make one as they seem a perfect idea for my house as all the herb plants are down the lottie


may make one on the weekend if soil to hard to dig ;D

What a lovely pressie ;)

So some herbs don't get swamped by others, just be careful what you put in there! ;)
