4. Form a Perfect DIY Hanging Planter or Herb Garden

The drainage hole inherent in most Bundt pans (the center tube opening) makes it a surprisingly suitable candidate for a unique hanging planter. Its substantial size and shape can support a lush display of trailing plants or a practical, compact herb garden for a sunny kitchen wall.
1. Prepare the Pan for Planting
Ensure your pan has a hole in the center. If not, you can carefully drill one. Optionally, apply a coat of outdoor-grade spray paint to prevent rust and add color. Place a layer of small stones or broken pottery over the center hole to aid drainage before adding potting soil.
2. Choose the Right Plants
Select plants that thrive in container gardens and suit your light conditions. For a trailing effect, succulents like String of Pearls, ivy, or creeping thyme are excellent. For a culinary herb garden, plant compact varieties of thyme, oregano, chives, mint, or parsley in different sections of the pan.
3. Hang and Maintain
Use sturdy jute rope, macramé hangers, or chains threaded through three or four points around the pan's rim for secure hanging. Ensure the hanging hardware is rated for the significant weight of soil, plants, and water. Water carefully, allowing excess to drain freely from the center.
