DIY Hanging Herb Garden with a Boho Twist
Because your herbs deserve a space as beautiful as their purpose.
I didn’t just want a garden.
I wanted a space that felt like me — soulful, handmade, a little wild, and filled with the scent of rosemary and lavender on warm afternoons.
That’s how my hanging herb garden began. And of course… it had to be boho.
In this article, I’ll show you how to create your own dreamy DIY hanging herb garden, blending practicality with bohemian charm. It’s more than just a planter — it’s a statement. A ritual space. A living altar of green healing.
🌿 Why Choose a Hanging Herb Garden?
Let’s talk energy and intention.
A hanging herb garden:
Saves space (perfect for balconies or small patios)
Adds vertical interest and movement
Keeps your kitchen herbs fresh and within reach
Becomes a focal point of your boho backyard vibe
Invites you to slow down, plant, harvest, and breathe
It’s not just for cooking — it’s for living.
🧺 What You’ll Need
3 to 5 small terracotta pots or repurposed containers
Jute rope or macramé cord
Wooden ring or metal hook for hanging
Herb plants (like basil, mint, thyme, rosemary, sage)
Decorative beads, feathers, or charms (for that boho flair)
Scissors, hot glue, optional paint or markers
A drill (for holes in the pots, if needed)
💡 Pro tip: Choose herbs that thrive in partial sun if your space isn’t super bright. Mint and parsley are perfect for low light!
🔨 Step-by-Step: How to Make a DIY Hanging Herb Garden (with Boho Energy)
1. Pick Your Pots
Use terracotta, tin cans, or recycled jars.
Paint them in earthy tones or soft pastels, or wrap them in twine or lace.
Add small symbols or words like “peace,” “abundance,” or “heal” using white paint pens.
2. Create the Hanging System
Cut equal lengths of jute rope or use a macramé plant hanger (for extra texture).
Tie knots below each pot to hold them in place, and bead or feather the cords.
Group 3 to 5 pots vertically or stagger them for a dynamic effect.
3. Plant Your Herbs with Intention
Fill each pot with potting mix and plant your chosen herbs.
As you plant, set an intention for each one:
🌿 Basil — protection & prosperity
🌿 Mint — clarity & freshness
🌿 Sage — purification & wisdom
🌿 Lavender — peace & rest
🌿 Thyme — courage & strength
4. Hang and Bless Your Garden
Use a sturdy hook on a wall, beam, or pergola.
Water gently and add small crystals around the base of each plant.
Optional: hang a small bell or charm that tinkles in the wind.
✨ Make It Ritual
This isn’t just a cute DIY — it’s a sacred space. Use your herb garden for:
Morning intention setting while watering ☀️
Harvesting mint for tea 🍃
Cleansing your home with fresh sage 🌬️
Creating simple herbal bundles to dry 🌾
Let each moment in your garden be a return to yourself.
🌼 Boho Styling Tips
Hang your herb garden in front of a soft textile backdrop or bamboo screen.
Add lanterns or solar fairy lights for evenings.
Place small wind chimes or crystals nearby to enhance the energy.
Use mismatched pots for extra charm.
🌙 Let Nature Meet Intuition
Your boho hanging herb garden is more than just plants —
it’s medicine, magic, and meaning all in one place.
Whether you’re an urban witch, a plant-loving dreamer, or just someone craving a little green peace… this is your call to create beauty, with intention.
