Utilizing Railings and Overhangs

Do not forget railings on balconies or deck edges. Railing planters attach securely, offering additional planting space without consuming floor area.

Hanging baskets suspended from overhangs or sturdy hooks also contribute to vertical layering, spilling color and foliage downwards. Always check weight limits for railings and overhangs, particularly with multiple heavy, watered planters.
