Beautiful Hanging Planters
March 30, 2012
On Urban Gardens I saw a post about Farrah Sit‘s wonderful hanging planters.
What struck me about these planters is not only their beauty but their dedication to craftsmanship. The planters are made from hand sanded porcelain, the straps are vegetable tan leather, a type pf leather that is strong and smooth, and connected to the planters with a solid brass screw.
Because the planters don’t have drainage holes I suggest filling the bottoms with a few inches of gravel and planting with something that doesn’t mind having slightly damp roots. Mint is a plant that comes to mind. It is very easy to grow, smells great and you can cook with it. Iris versicolor is another as are various kinds of Wood Sorrel (Oxalis), which is pictured below.

If you like these planters you should look at Farrah’s other designs at her web site.
