Spring and summer are synonymous with hanging baskets, which can add beauty to any outdoor space. These gorgeous seasonal arrangements often hang from downtown lampposts, as well as the front porches of homes. Hanging baskets, featuring trailing greenery and colorful blooms, are graceful additions to patios and porches in both homes and businesses.
History of Hanging Baskets
Gorgeous hanging baskets are not a new idea. It’s believed that hanging baskets have been around for more than 3,000 years! The well-known ancient Gardens of Babylon famously featured hanging baskets. Stories differ about the details of who designed these first hanging baskets, and just what they looked like, but these ancient gardens provide inspiration for today’s beautiful hanging baskets.
Why We Love Hanging Baskets
Hanging baskets of flowing greenery and gorgeous, colorful flowers bring joy to everyone. These arrangements are reminiscent of old-world charm and can bring a smile to anyone who passes by. With their big splashes of color, hanging higher in the air, what’s not to love!

This season is all about dark and moody hues that give a spooky look to floral arrangements. Colors such as purple, maroon, black, or dark blue hues give a different twist to a dark and moody arrangement. You can then add other pops of color, such as different shades of red, oranges, and even yellows.
