Hi Andrew,
Have you tried to contact any botanical gardens near you to see if they do display outside in cases and what they use? I don't remember seeing cases at the Denver Botanic Gardens, but you might email them directly to see. Here is their website: http://www.botanicgardens.org/ I do know they do outdoor display of artifacts. They had a large display of Chihuly glass here recently, but no cases that I remember.
Just a thought.
Best,
Peggy

as most of the museum display case producers also sell outside display cases for stores (which have to be at least waterproof...) , just select one of them at your convenience.
As our list of museum suppliers - 13,098 companies - is confined to Europe (141 entries on 18 pages for example for vitrine producers), this list list can help only if you want to select an global player. See:

Nice to hear that botanical gardens start to use showcases, by the way.
Best

I have no recollection of ever seeing anything like this much less who would make something of this kind.On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 2:55 PM, Anne Lane <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Sorry, I can't resist - A cardboard box inside a trash bag? Seriously, depending on size, you might look online for folks who sell camera carriers, or outdoor stores that sell waterproof containers for canoeists or kayakers. A search on their brands might lead you to makers of larger sizes.Anne LaneMountain Heritage CenterWestern Carolina University
