Hanging Baskets, Hayracks, etc

Happy New Year everyone.

Just in the process of putting together a quote for a new client and I need a supplier of good quality hanging baskets, chains and hayracks for planting up. As I'll need about 20 large baskets for this client alone, plus some for my other clients, and anticipating new business, I need a supplier that will offer good trade pricing as well as quality. Any recommendations? I prefer wire ones to plastic for durability, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm also interested in the ball-type baskets - has anyone any experience of these?

 

Many thanks

  • Hi Andy,

    Would you take them planted up, if the spec was up to it, as there may be a supplier very close to you that we know?

  • I was going to plant them up myself from plugs I was going to grow on, but if they'll do it for the same price it would cost me, I'd be more than happy for them to do it. They'd also need to guarantee that they look as good as mine do though!

  • Since I don't really do bedding plants, or know much about them, I'll pm you the suppliers details so you can deal with them directly.

  • Thanks Steve, i'll try them, but what I really need is a good, cheap supplier of garden ironmongery - last try for any suggestions (and any views on the ball type hanging basket containers)? Someone must know someone, surely?
  • That's what i've done in the past, but I gather you can buy special ones now. Not sure they're worth it though, hence the question. If a basket is well planted, does it need to be round as well?
