As with every Hillsigns product I have used on re-cycled materials. In fact these are the offcuts. Nothing is wasted! Carefully cut and sanded before being assembled with a high quality adhesive and 30mmx4 screws. It is then coated with Danish oil to create a natural enhanced finish to the wood. The idea was to make the tray as easy to hang as a picture.
The first one I made was hung on the wall in the lounge and is still there. Planted with in door, low light plants it makes a living picture on the wall.
I've used terracotta pots for an added traditional feel. Plants such as ferns and English Ivy are ideal. The pots are 10cm approx. and each one sits in a shallow dish.
The benefits of indoor gardening are discussed a great deal at the moment. The presence of plants in the home can improve not only the aesthetics of the room but also the atmosphere and the mental health of the residents. Some people also suggest that the air itself is improved by the presence of house plants.
