I've come on here to show off the baskets i did for my local. Done 12 in total...pretty much all the same and i did them as cost...approx £20 per basket.

Next year, i hope to get a few more baskets for pubs or private gardens and if i can grow most of the plants myself, i'll make a bit of money on them.

You did a grand job for them Andy - no wonder you have plenty of interest for next year! Smashing

They make the place look much more inviting and friendly - I hate to see pubs with basket hangers on the walls and nothing suspended from them, it looks like they don't care about attracting custom!

Definitely I hope that the landlord tells everyone where he got them from so that you get plenty of orders for next year.

Did you have to buy the baskets as well Andy, if you did the cost will be less for you next year, and if you ask around I'm sure loads of people have spare baskets they don't use and would be glad to give away, then you'll make more cash. and you could keep your eyes open for unusual baskets to use that were free, a lady near me does an old shopping basket every year, it looks great planted up, and it was free,... and those of yours do look nice I might add.

maybe life didn't turn out to be the party you thought, but while your here you may as well dance
