Gardens come in all forms and dimensions, but one of the most often overlooked areas is the valuable real estate at eye-level or just overhead. Give an instant color boost to the porch, deck, balcony, or sunroom with hanging flowers. Increase convenience by growing suspended herbs outdoors, yet within easy reach of a kitchen window or door. Maximize general garden space by growing fruits and veggies from a roofline, a pergola, or a large tree.
Strawberries, as well as certain varieties of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, and more, will all thrive well above ground level. The creative possibilities of hanging baskets are virtually limitless. Best of all, hanging baskets can be moved around as needed to accommodate changes in sun and shade during the growing season, or to simply change things up. Feeling inspired yet?
