Wire basket Ball shape
I haven't seen any round baskets, but this company sells sphagnum filled balls, and they state they have more stuff than is on their website. Maybe you can call and ask them.

mattsmom That might work..The one we seen had Moss or something linear to hold planting mix..wish I would have bookmarked.Woulda Coulda Shoulda..LOL
Thank You
I believe these were wire hanging baskets, the kind with the coco liners. I think they did use moss instead of the liners.
mattsmom Probably work better with moss..We want to plant lettuce in it for DWs mom..Lettuce isn't planted deep so we are thinking we could sprinkle the seed on the moss & Wala..LOL
has anyone worked with the living topiary forms?? wreaths? the sight that goldfinch put up, has moss lined wreath forms, and I'm wondering if ya tear a small hole in the top to put soil inside the moss... will be heavier, but it will increase the types of flowers that can be put in.
If anyone has any info on that, let me know...I'm going to make an order for wall baskets also, put back to back and attach to my large shepards hood in the middle -T area. ((hope that makes sense to ya'll)) **giggles**
Only some of the living wreaths HAVE HOLES already to accept the soil.... but would STILL like to hear from anyone that has used them, and how heavy they are with what's planted in them. I've seen where alot of people will put succulants in them, but what about floral?
Here is a pix of one of the wreaths I planted last year. Pix was taken before it really filled out.
This is a succulent wreath from last year that I used for a centerpiece on patio set.
mattsmom they look neat..I like the succulent wreath best..

I bought wire baskets at Walmart for $5 each and am going to try it!
Wow Matts mom - can you share how you made the impatient wreath and the succulent center piece - I love those!!
Ultimate- This is a link to the wreath frames. I don't use the liners that come with them, I use moss instead. I like the look better.
