Hanging Herb Garden How To

Outdoor Projects •  June 7, 2017

Our back deck is right outside of our kitchen and sunroom. So it’s a great place to keep plants and herbs we use when cooking. You may remember last year I created a centerpiece with some small pots and fresh herbs.

This year, though, I thought I’d mix it up a bit. So that’s just what I did by creating hanging herb gardens!

It’s such a fun way to incorporate useful plants like herbs without them taking up space in your yard or on your deck. More room for other container plants and flowers!?

Hanging Baskets with Herbs to Plant

First things first-gather up your favorite herbs, hanging baskets from Southern Patio and some shepherd’s hooks.

The baskets I’m using have a self-watering tray built-in.

With hanging planters, water evaporates more easily from the soil since all sides of the planter are exposed to the air. But this tray helps keep the plants adequately watered so you don’t have to fret about watering your herbs all the time!

Of course the beautiful, simulated woven texture is a great addition to either side of my deck steps!

I placed the shepherd’s hooks on the outside of my handrails, making sure the base of the hook was flush with the ground, not just the grass. After planting my dill, parsley, basil, and cilantro, I quickly hung the baskets! If the hook isn’t as far into the ground as it can go, it’ll lean pretty far forward once you add the baskets.

Using Hanging Baskets to Plant Herbs

The baskets hang at the perfect height to be able to walk out the back door and clip the herbs we need for dinner from the stairs without stepping into the yard!

So there you have it, a quick, pretty, and smell-good project to add to your yard this season! Now…what’s for dinner?!

Even though there won’t be any parades this year Even though there won’t be any parades this year and @toomeysmardigras was heartbreakingly empty (when it should be bustling and busting at the seams), we will still carry on the Mardi Gras spirit and represent the birthplace of MG in America in this house! We stocked up on decorations, moonpies and apparel for the kiddos this weekend. Now bring on the king cake!👑🎂💜💛
