Re: Oswaldtwistle Hanging baskets

I had a thought in the middle of the night!

The baskets could be planted up with things that would survive on rain water alone. Things like house leeks, sedums, alpines, even some ivies. There are lots of flowering sedums which would grow down a hanging basket beautifully all year round with no care needed.

Initially it would be slightly more expensive than using bedding plants, but they would care for themselves, green up Union Road, and look much better than rows of dead hanging baskets merrily swinging in the breeze.
