Hanging baskets are a great way to break up blank walls and soften door ways or just show off your gorgeous bedding.

We have made a video to show you how to make a hanging basket using moss, which makes the process a lot easier if you are building layers into your basket. There are many alternatives to moss including coir matting and artificial moss.

We have used larger plants in this video so the basket fills quicker. Small plants are, however,  easier to thread through the holes and will establish quickly. In a month you will have a full basket!
