DIY Wildflower Hanging Baskets - Garden - BeeFriendly

in #gardening6 years ago

This year I wanted to take steps to make my small Garden more Bee and Insect Friendly.

My Garden is surrounded by railings so I thought of hanging baskets over the side of them. I volunteer my time with the local Gardening Group and we planted up the community garden, after a lady there said she had some hanging baskets..I took a look and they are perfect. Half size which I can attach to the railings easily.

Love a bit of up-cycling.

So I went to the shops today and bought some wildflower seeds, some coco liner and started planting them up.

They were only cheap seeds, so we shall see what happens. I have never done a hanging basket let alone from seed. It may look a bit thin if so I will buy some wildflower plugs and stick them in to thicken it out!

That's a good idea, I was thinking about a similar idea for the railings around my balcony.

Sounds like a good plan! You get plastic planters too =D with clips already attached.

Awesome! May I link this article and feature your username @pumpkinsandcats in the next issue of the Weekly Homesteading Newsletter? Let me know, thanks!

That would be awesome! Thank You =D

Congratulations! Your article has been linked and featured in the most recent Weekly Homesteading Newsletter! Thank you for the great content and have a wonderful Sunday!

That's really nice. Are your seeds from wildflowers native your area? I'm learning a lot about the importance of growing native plants to help heal the planet.

I wanted to use local flowers. I have 2 more baskets left. So i am going to see how these start then i may go and pick anx relocate some go the other planters I was thinking
