Try dental floss for the vines. Maybe get woodland scenes grass, paint it purple or whatever kind of grapes u want and glue them to the dental floss. Good luck though sounds really tough.

Although I'm not very fond of PE plants, there are couple of manufacturers that make vines...

This one is from Aber and it goes for $10.



and I believe Hudson makes a set too...

wwlladdict,

Holland is not known for their grape vines, it is not so that there are no grape vines, but they are rare (not like France). As I recall there are no vines around Arnhem

Try getting the root system from a large woody weed or a baby tree. the fine intricate roots may help, though I am curious about the vineyards as well

Ronny,

you got my point exactly...... Specially the Arnhem area is known for it's woods, heath and the river Rhine....not much of a grapevine area.

For that purpose they would do just fine. As long as you keep it small scale.
