P24

Having always grown my own herbs (or tried to), I found this hanging herb box such a novel idea. The many things I like:
It's a great space saver
It's a practical height - like having an eye level oven
It can go either indoors or out (hanging from the eaves)
It is practical but also a wonderful design feature - it can replace the need for artwork on a wall.

Some design ideas:
I can create any feel I like; a rustic feel with old used planks hanging on rope, a more contemporary feel like that in the picture, or even place mirror over the front and sides hanging on chromed chain. Instead of one large box, I could make 2 or 3 and put them at different levels

Nothing nicer than home grown herbs and veges.

Important things so remember:
Herbs need sunlight
Some kind of drip tray will need to go on the inside
The base will need to be secure enough to carry the weight.

Hmm...I like this
