A roof garden suspended in a basket. Clever Hanging Planter Solution Collects Water From Leaking Roof.

Look at these hanging baskets. Its a new version of a roof garden. Always on the hunt for clever wall planters I was surprised to see these plants hanging from the roof of Tide Tables cafe  under Richmond Bridge in London.

And what a great idea. The owner of the cafe was interested in a green wall but opted for this clever design solution. The baskets are the wire shopping baskets that can be found at most supermarkets. The plants are then suspended from the basket facing downwards.

But how do you water the plants? Well the baskets are actually holding containers to collect water from the leaking roof. The baskets are really designed to collect water rather than just being an aesthetic consideration. Ah very clever. A new planter pot idea.

But doesn’t the soil drop out? Nope, there is no soil. And they are not air plants. The plants are fake.

And you thought you did not need another handbag or hanging basket ever again

The hanging basket has morphed into a handbag named Vagabond from the Woolly Pocket Garden Company. This plant filled handbag likes to go for walks.Check out Garden Beet’s blog for further details on the new garden and fashion accessories.

Garden accessories to style your Christmas? Accessorise Christmas with Garden Beet’s Top 10 Garden Gifts.

At Garden Beet, garden accessories are now busy realigning themselves to provide Christmas cheer for next month. In this post I am going to review the first garden accessory we recommend to style your Christmas. Please note these reviews are in no particular order.

NUMBER ONE  is a  contemporary hanging basket, called Morocco. This basket is usually a pot plant holder. It hangs from its top where there is a loop and a latch allows for the installation of liners, soil and plants. Of course you can place a potted plant inside but why limit yourself?

Morocco hanging basket is perfect for adding a new touch to your Christmas decor or stylish gift list. Hang it from the ceiling and decorate with lights, Christmas ball balls, pine cones anything or nothing. It is made from stainless steel so it can be located inside or out.

If you fancy not eating for the next 3 weeks you will have enough money to buy say, 5 or 6 of these hanging baskets to create a Christmas tree. Secure them to the roof and let them hang at a range of heights. Decorate as you like.

If anyone wanted to buy more than 3  I will support you and your hanging basket design. I will offer you a discount in exchange for loads of design excitement and photos of the end result.

NUMBER TWO: coming soon
