Shepard’s hooks in the garden go way beyond just hanging plants. I have also found them to be great for small climbers such as the morning glory. I discovered this after watching a random morning glory (we all know they have NO problem growing from seed), start curling and twining its way up my Shepard’s hook that had a beautiful petunia basket on top, it dawned on me that this very simple garden tool is actually way more practical than first thought!

So, if you have any small climbers that need a little more support, and you don’t want to necessarily get a trellis, I would highly recommend getting a low price-point Shepard’s hook. It adds another practical (vertical) element to the garden!

I thought this would be little “introduction” back to garden blogging. It’s been a while, and I have felt the itch to start talking about my garden and plants again!
