Step 2:

Screw the central support into the base of the planter. Now you’re ready to start assembling the baskets.

Next, thread the medium sized basket onto the pole and add the second large tube.


Step 5

Step 5:

Finally you can add the top planter and screw the whole thing together with the wing nut supplied.

Make sure that it is screwed together firmly to hold the baskets tightly in place.

Once it’s assembled, all you need to do is fill the planter with a good quality compost and plant it up with your favourite plants.

Plants and gardens have always been a big part of my life. I can remember helping my Dad to prick out seedlings, even before I could see over the top of the potting bench. As an adult, I trained at Writtle College where I received my degree, BSc. (Hons) Horticulture. After working in a specialist plantsman's nursery, and later, as a consulting arboriculturalist, I joined Thompson & Morgan in 2008. Initially looking after the grounds and coordinating the plant trials, I now support the web team offering horticultural advice online.
