Plant hangers | H is for Home

We recently inherited a magnificent spider plant specimen with at least a dozen or so plantlets arching outwards & downwards. It currently sits on a window ledge in the stairway and isn’t being shown off to its maximum potential.

It would look stunning suspended from the ceiling so we’re looking at the array of plant hangers available online. #1 is the classic cream cord macramé plant hanger that was ubiquitous in the 1970s… and I really love it. I remember making loads of them when I was a child. #2 is a colourful crocheted version… but it’s a DIY version – and I can’t crochet for toffee! #3 is my favourite of the lot; elegant and minimalist, with just a trio of black strings and a lovely brass container – it will display the foliage beautifully.

Three hanging baskets | H is for Home

We’re back out pottering in the garden and have had some lovely sunny days recently. Our patch isn’t the largest, so we’ve been making the most of the vertical. All the wall and fence spaces have numerous planters attached. We’re in the market for some more hanging baskets, we only have one outside the front door at the moment. So many of the ones we’ve come across are just plain old boring though.

We finally found these three hanging baskets that we like and would gladly give garden room. The one we’d like the most though is the mid-priced, white IKEA example. It can be used both indoors and out and you can by two or more and hang one above/beneath the other – a great space-saver for a truly vertical garden!
