Making your first macramé plant hanger is a project that may seem difficult at first. Not to worry though! Once you’ve learned the basics, you will be able to master this boho-chic trend in no time.

You will be welcomed by Amaia, founder of Peanut Butter Dreams, at the Streatham Common Community Garden where, if the weather allows, you will make your plant hanger surrounded by all sorts of plants and hopefully enjoying a lovely English Summer day!

If the weather doesn’t behave, we got you covered! In that case, we will move the workshop into the Community Garden’s education room.

You will start by learning the three basic types of knots that we need for the workshop:

Square knot Half square knot or spiral knot Loop knot or gathering knot

Then, you will be ready to make your very own macramé plant hanger!

This class is ideal for craft enthusiasts who would like to gain a new skill, a group of friends who want to do something different together or plant lovers who want to showcase one of their house plants!

Our Learner Plot groups have been busy planning, sowing and now planting out their gardens since their induction day on 1st April.  This year we were successful with funding from the National Lottery to recruit community groups with potential for then setting up their own growing spaces to take part in the scheme.  Crown Lane Primary School, Mencap, Spires, Streatham Drop-In Centre for Refugees, Albert Carr Estate residents and Streatham Library User Groups are the groups this year, sharing with a couple of local residents.

It’s been  great to see the plots transforming and the enthusiasm of the new gardeners. Crown Lane pupils come down twice a week rain or shine, and have been planting out the tomatoes and peas they sowed at school, coinciding with their science project about biology. They are very keen on digging and watering! Watch out for the pupils gardening blog coming soon…
