Hey there, I'm Jerry Dean Swanson, a Master Gardener from Princeton, WI. I love gardening and I also love making art out of steel. That's why I started making my own versions of the Bottle Tree, a traditional folk art that adds some color and whimsy to any garden. I've been doing this since 2001 and I think they are pretty cool!
You won't regret buying my Bottle Trees. They are super sturdy and durable, and they will outlive us all. That's a promise! They come ready to use, no hassle. And they are made of high-quality steel from the USA.
Plus, they are all one-of-a-kind designs that you won't find anywhere else.
And the BEST news...Lori and I were married on Decenber 9th, 2024. How about that!

My Bottle Tree Haiku
Bottle Tree stands tall,
A glassy forest of light,
Shimmering in Sun.
My trees have found their homes across the United States, from Alaska to Hawaii, and everywhere in between. They are also planted in nine provinces of Canada...Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. Some of my trees have travelled to faraway places like Jamaica, Philippines, and the United Kingdom. I am very proud of my trees and their global reach.

Do you know what hügelkultur is? It's a cool way of gardening that uses wood and organic matter to create raised beds. I've been working on my own hügelkultur project for a couple years now, and I wanted to share some updates with you. Check out these photos of my progress so far. I'm really happy with how it's turning out!
