The Gardeners World Show at The NEC 2009 was memorable for the recognition of a lot of hard work related to our Hanging Baskets and Patio Plants.

In addition to supplying traditional favourites in our hanging basket range, Cook's have worked hard to bring some new hanging basket ideas to the market.

Tips

Avoid very small baskets they dry out too quickly.
Keep the weight down by using a light soil growing compost mixture
Water regularly and frequently.
If your basket does dry out try taking it down and submerge in a large bucket / tub of water - allowing the basket to take on as much water as possible.
Rotate the basket if possible so each side gets some sunshine.
