Hanging succulent garden. Another thing I got up to during my week long Making Friday was to make a hanging succulent garden in my studio.
It all started with the impulse buy of a magnificent Burro’s Tail from Aspen Flowers in Loop Street, and next thing I was googling macrame tutorials on the internet. Just look at how it turned out!

The modular wall plates can easily be mounted to any surface on a balcony, rooftop, or even the fridge door. The system includes small, medium, and large vessels or pots, wall plates, and individual wall mount pucks that can connect the pots to each other or mount them to the wall.
