Brighten Up Your Summer with Our Big, Beautiful Hanging Baskets – Lovingly Grown in Stockton-on-Tees
Looking to add a burst of colour, life, and cheer to your garden, porch, or patio this summer? You’re in the right place! At Green Onion Landscaping, we sell gorgeous, overflowing 16″ summer hanging baskets packed with flowers, foliage, and sunshine – all lovingly grown right here in the North East of England.
We’re passionate about growing beautiful things, and every basket is carefully planted, watered, fed, and nurtured by hand. These aren’t your average hanging baskets – they’re lush, heavy, colourful, and full of personality. Our customers say they’re “the best they’ve ever had” – and we hope you’ll feel the same!
💐 PLEASE NOTE: Our summer 2025 baskets are now fully SOLD OUT – thank you so much to everyone who ordered! We’re incredibly grateful for your support and can’t wait to do it all again next year. Be sure to follow us on Facebook to be the first to hear when next year’s baskets are available to order.
What Types of Baskets Do You Offer?
We offer two beautiful options, both designed to bring colour, fragrance, and joy to your outdoor space:
- Style 1 – Top & Side Planted (16″ Basket) – £50 + delivery
Our fullest, most dramatic basket! Planted on the top and through the sides for a 360-degree floral display. These baskets burst with trailing blooms and create a spectacular show as they grow. (Sold out for 2025) - Style 2 – Top Planted Only (16″ Basket) – £46 + delivery
A beautiful, generously filled top-planted basket with a gorgeous spread of colour. A great option if you’re looking for something a little more compact, but still full of charm. (Sold out for 2025)
Delivery Costs – Friendly, Straightforward & Local
We personally deliver every single basket ourselves, right to your doorstep – no couriers, no cardboard boxes, and definitely no surprises. Just friendly service and lush, thriving baskets delivered with care. 🌸
Because we’re a small local business and everything is delivered by hand, we do charge a small delivery fee to help cover fuel and time. Here’s how it works:
- All areas across Teesside – £9.00
What’s Inside Each Basket?
We take great pride in what goes into our baskets. Each one is:
- Hand-planted in a strong 16″ wire basket with a heavy-duty green liner and sturdy metal hanging chain.
- Filled with rich compost, slow-release fertiliser, and UK-grown flower plugs – grown from seeds or cuttings.
- Carefully watered, fed, and pinched back during the growing period, so they’re healthy, well-rooted, and bursting with potential when they arrive at your door.
Every single basket is made by hand – no mass production here! Just proper, homegrown baskets from a small, independent Teesside business that really cares.
How Big Will My Basket Grow?
When we deliver your basket, it will be in the early stages of growth – still full and colourful, but with lots of space to flourish. With a little bit of care and attention, each basket can grow to a stunning 35–50 cm in diameter, trailing beautifully over the sides as the summer goes on.
We include a free care sheet with every order to help you get the very best out of your basket. And don’t worry – if you’ve never looked after a hanging basket before, we’ll guide you through it step by step.
How Do I Look After My Basket?
Looking after your basket is easy, and very rewarding! Here are our top tips for keeping it happy and healthy all summer long:
- Where to Hang It: Use a strong, 18–20″ bracket screwed securely into brick or wood. We don’t recommend hanging from fences – the baskets are heavy when wet, and need a sturdy hook.
- Sunshine: These baskets love the sun! A south or west-facing wall is ideal. They’ll still do well in lighter shade, but the more sun, the more flowers.
- Watering: Check daily – just lift the basket from underneath. If it feels light, give it a thorough soak until water runs out of the bottom. On hot days, you may need to water twice – once in the morning and again in the evening.
- Feeding: Begin feeding 2 weeks after delivery. A tomato feed or balanced liquid fertiliser every 10–14 days works wonders for flower production!
- Deadheading: Removing faded flowers and leggy stems helps the basket keep producing new blooms. A quick tidy once or twice a week makes a big difference.
- Watch for Pests: Keep an eye out for aphids and whitefly. If needed, use a gentle, bee-safe spray – or rinse them off with water.
Follow these simple steps and your basket will reward you with months of dazzling colour and gorgeous growth!

What Should I Get Ready?
Before your basket arrives, you’ll want to make sure you’re all set up for success:
- Have a strong metal bracket (18–20″) ready to hang your basket
- Buy some tomato feed or all-purpose fertiliser to keep those flowers blooming
- Keep scissors or pruners nearby for regular dead-heading and tidying
Why Our Baskets Are Different
We don’t use short cuts, mass production, or cheap plants. Every basket is made to order, using top-quality UK-grown stock, and given the time and care it needs to thrive. It’s the kind of thing you just don’t get at big garden centres!
Our baskets are lush, full, and alive with colour. They’re made to stop people in their tracks – and they do!
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I choose the colours? – We use a mix of our favourite flower combinations for a full, natural look. Sorry, we can’t offer custom colour schemes due to plant availability.
- Can I order more than two? – To keep things fair, we limit it to 2 per household.
- What if I’m not home for delivery? – No worries! We’ll leave the basket in a safe place and send you a quick photo by text so you know where it is.
- Do you reuse baskets? – Unfortunately, no. We don’t take returns or reuse baskets.
Stay in the Loop
We share photos, updates, and reminders every week during basket season on our Facebook page. It’s a great place to see what’s blooming, ask questions, and get a sneak peek at what’s coming up next year!
