Spring Basket Wreath
You can either buy something like this from Door Wreaths by Design or make a simple version yourself. There are many hanging baskets that are flat-backed, allowing them to hang flush against a wall, window or door. If your door is in a sunny location, fill the planter basket with something like petunias, bacopa, or calibrachoa. If your door is in a shadier location, try pink impatiens mixed with caladiums. Nice change from a wreath. To keep basket from bumping against a glass window as in the photo, put a couple lengths of peel & stick foam weather stripping on the back. Happy decorating! ~Jo

I LOVE this!! But where can I get a flat back hanging planter container that will take real plants? I love container gardening.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this a wonderful look -- and a relief from wreaths? I got my flat back planters from a local nursery, but I've seen them at either Lowe's or Home Depot. Also -- if you search "wall pocket" on eBay, you'll see a gazillion different kinds, some quite beautiful! Happy hunting -- and send me photos!!!! ~Jo
DeleteJulia -- also try "wall planter" on eBay.
