Hanging Herb Garden How To

June 7, 2017 By Chelsea Lipford Wolf Leave a Comment

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?!

3D art install in my girls’ girly bedroom!🦋😍Love this $13 pack of butterflies that comes with everything you need to fill a large wall! And it only takes 30 minutes!🙌🏻 Putting the link to the butterflies in my bio! (https://amzn.to/3VmfZsB)

First step is to layout the flow of your fluttering butterflies with the large and medium sizes from the pack, leaving room for the small ones. Then fill in spaces with the small size and pat yourself on the back! So easy!
The whole Wolfpack has been staying at my parents’ house on the river for the past week while our hardwood floors are being refinished. Since the kids had the whole week off of school it has really felt like a vacation! Complete with a sunny Sunday boat ride after Mass!🥰🚤☀️Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😘

Watching a craftsman at work is something to behol Watching a craftsman at work is something to behold! Cabinet installers were at our house until 7pm last night working to install them just right. One cabinet isn’t tight against our old walls so they’re coming back to tweak it and close the gap. They could have just covered it with trim. Today 2 carpenters from our construction company briskly installed our old (gross) baseboards and new crown molding. It still always amazes me the difference molding can make in a project looking finished! Now…time to paint! What color for crown? Match the cabinets or go with white throughout?!
