Hanging Flower Baskets 101 with Connie

Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, May 17, 2023

By Michelle Hall 

It’s time to brighten your view with the Village of Ada’s annual hanging flower baskets! These lovely hanging gardens bring architectural interest to the downtown landscape and they’ll be making their 2023 debut at the end of May.

To learn more about the baskets and some helpful tips on how to create your own blooming masterpiece, I spoke with groundskeeper Connie Ziegler, who tends to the Village’s Depot garden and maintains the 56 baskets on Main Street. The following are Connie’s recommendations to create your own beautiful hanging flower basket: 

PLANTING IDEAS

Q. Are there benefits to planting all the same type of flowers in a basket?
A. As long as they all require the same care, you should be able to plant all of one type of flower. Don’t mix succulents with  water loving plants! Stick with one type of flower.

Q. What about a foliage-only basket? Can they be less difficult to care for?
A. They will still require constant care. For example, Boston Ferns require a lot of care. The best tip is to read the care instruction labels on plants you purchase.
