Green Jar Planter

Reuse a glass jar as a planter using the "Green" Jar Planter. Glass jars make the perfect vessel for self watering planters and with the "Green" Jar Planter's unique design you can screw them right on for a snug fit.

This is currently designed for a standard UK/EU 60mm jar and I have included the files for both the standard and long variants.

If you like it please post a make - I would love to see your home gardens!
