If you love the idea of enjoying a lush garden at home but are a little lacking in the handywoman department to make it happen easily, here’s a host of secret weapons to make your green dreams come true.
1. Whites classic fence hook, $5.30, Bunnings
For the simplest vertical garden, this clever hook is recurred under the rim of your Colorbond fence. Simply lock in place and hang pots along its length to your heart’s desire.
2. Gardman Hi-Lo hanging basket hook, $9.98, Bunnings
This clever hook works on a ratchet mechanism, allowing you to lower your hanging plant for easy watering and care – no excuses!
3. Fish bowl vase, $9, Kmart
If you’re short on time, space, yard or the whole idea of an outdoor garden fills you with dread, consider making your own terrarium in a fish bowl.
4. Barsö pot trellis, $6.99, Ikea
A trellis extends the growing surface for climbing plants, without the need to affix and hardware to walls or fences. This one can be used indoors or outdoors and sits cleverly inside the pot to train your greenery upwards and outwards.
5. Icon garden hose & lead hanger, $4, Big W
This might seem too simple but having your hose stored neatly and close at hand to your garden will encourage you to water it more often. Rather than lugging a hose from a distance this hook can be mounted wherever needed, or fitted to your tap for neat storage.
