18 Easy Hanging Gardens Ideas For Outdoors

easy hanging garden ideas for outdoors

The gardening season is opened and I bet that everyone is striving to plant and grow something fresh somewhere outdoors. If you want to plant something but don’t have enough space for that, there are some creative space-saving gardening solutions like vertical planters or hanging gardens. Today I’d like to share some hanging ideas for those of you who lack space.

Creating hanging gardens both indoors and outdoors is pretty simple. Choose a pot that you will use: it may be a usual pot, a piece of gutter, a PVC pipe, an old kitchen colander, a piece of a bottle, a bucket or anything else. Here everything depends on the style of garden you want, on the things you have at hand and the plants you’ll grow. Then decide how you want to secure it all: on poles, on chains or ropes, or just hang somewhere using hooks. Now mark the planters somehow if these are veggies or herbs, to differentiate them when needed. You may do that with chalkboard marks, or just spray paint the pots with different colors.
