Abstract: Disclosed is a hanging basket liner for lining wire and other types of hanging baskets designed to hold live, growing plants and flowers or artificial plants and flowers. The liner is of a generally pouch-shape construction with an opening at the top. The liner is made of a flexible material to conform to the shape of a hanging basket and also to provide a pleasing and aesthetic appearance. When necessary, the interior of the liner is covered by an additional water controlling material to help appropriately retain moisture and water within the basket, reduce excessive drainage and reduce the drying out of the growing medium. The liner is easily installed and comes in a variety of sizes and shapes to custom fit a hanging basket. The liner can be easily punctured or cut so that the sides and bottom of a hanging basket can also be planted. The liner is durable, long lasting and reuseable.
