Savvy woman uses Poundland shower caddies as hanging baskets in her garden and people love the cheap tip
A SAVVY woman who couldn’t find any hanging plant pots decided to use shower caddies instead - and her idea has been hailed as ‘brilliant’.
Lynnsey Wilson wanted to jazz up her garden, but struggled to find a pot which she could hang on her fence.
Rather than traipse around countless gardening centres, she decided to repurpose a shower caddie.
She headed to Poundland and picked up a few of their bathroom accessories - which have a hook - before turning them into plant pots.
Lynnsey shared snaps of her project to Facebook group , showing her pop a basket liner in the bottom before filling them with soil.
She said: "Couldn't find any wall planters so adapted the Poundland shower caddies. Holes already in."
Lynnsey planted a gorgeous purple flower - campanula - before proudly hanging the baskets on her fence.
Hundreds of people have liked her post online, and debated doing the same thing in their own garden.
Commenting online, one person said: “Am definitely going to get some. Looks so nice.”
Another wrote: “Fantastic they look better than any hanging basket.”
A third thought: “Brilliant idea thanks for sharing.”
Someone else wrote: “Fantastic. Going to give it a try.”
While this person raved: “Great idea I would never have thought of that and cheap.”
