If you have been to this
site before you will now notice that there are now TWO Coaster Gardens!
Late 2002, my wife & I bought our own house.
I transplanted my garden to our new place.
My mother so liked and got used to the coasters growing in her backyard, that she requested I leave a few cuttings behind.
As you can see my backyard is much sunnier and my garden will thrive better than before!
The Coaster Garden has BLOOMED!
Well actually I realised that something needed to be done to dress up and improve the garden as a whole.
As I have *so* many coasters, I figured a few could be spared to make Coaster Flowers!
As this picture shows, a couple of battery powered lanterns can dress up your garden at night.

What do
you do with those ubiquitous Freebie CD-ROMs you get in your mailbox as
junk mail?
We collectively refer to them
as "Coasters" because they're all pretty much good for is to prevent
those condensation rings on your furniture from your beverages!
Most of these 'Freebies' end
up in the dustbin, only to clutter up & occupy space in our
landfills, where they'll probably will take hundreds to thousands of
years to break down under the onslaught of Mother Nature.
Coasters can also be had from
a defective or badly encoded CD-R or CD-RW.
The full artistic potential to be wrought from the lowly Coaster became
apparent during my first trip in 1997 to the Burning Man
Festival. There I saw myriad applications of a throwaway product turned
into art, decoration, and costuming!
I had collected a nice stack
of these things myself & needed a place to store them. I
spindled them on a metal Garden Crook you would use to hang a plant or
a lantern. I soon realised that I would need LOTS of coasters to fill
up the garden crook! When I completed my first one, I liked what I saw!
In the process, I'll be doing
my small part to help eliminate this needless waste & provide a
Sanctuary & Preserve for these poor blighted victims of the
Information Age!
Media Attention!
