1. Instant Impact Plantings
Need your garden beds or containers to look full fast? Plant hanging baskets directly into the ground or nestle them into large planters. They’re already grown in and blooming, no need to wait for small starters to fill out. Just remove the hanger, tease the roots slightly, and plant the entire basket for instant color and texture. It’s a great trick for special events, quick curb appeal, or that corner of the garden that always seems to need a boost.
2. Tabletop Garden Toppers
Bring your baskets down to eye level and use them as table centerpieces. A full, blooming basket placed on an outdoor dining table adds instant charm. Use a flat-bottomed basket or even repot into a low terracotta bowl, then let the color do the talking.
3. Kitchen Herb Hangers
Create a vertical herb garden right outside your back door or near your grill station with baskets filled with your favorite culinary herbs. Basil, parsley, thyme, oregano, and mint thrive in baskets and love the good airflow they provide. Plus, they’re easy to snip when you need a little something fresh for dinner.
