Last year, I became the proud owner of my first garden. Already hung on one of the garden walls was a hook for a hanging basket. However, as a beginner gardener battling with the realities of what you can actually plant in a north-west facing garden, I had no idea how to put together a shade-friendly hanging basket.
I didn't fully understand how to plant up a hanging basket, let alone how to navigate the thriller, filler and spiller rules when choosing the best plants for my hanging basket or even what plants would thrive in my garden. Fortunately, my job means I’m often able to pick the brains of talented experts to solve my garden or interior problems.
