One of the best botanical gardens I have been to Review of Palmengarten, Frankfurt, Germany

Plus you'll get the bonus of the wonderful scent—heliotrope is one of the most fragrant flowers you can use in hanging baskets. Bold and bright—what's not to enjoy about a red, white, and blue combo? Use lush, trailing plants like these to overflow a traditional hanging basket and eventually cover it with a skirt of eye-catching color.

How to Make a Spherical Hanging Basket in Just 20 Minutes
A plastic, moulded hanging pot is lightweight, reduces moisture loss and often comes with an attached saucer, or even a self-watering reservoir. Wire baskets are also attractive, but they will need to be lined with something to keep the soil in place. Coconut fibre or paperbark are good choices, and to reduce water loss, you can line the inside of the liner with a supermarket bag or something similar. Make holes in it for drainage and trim the top so it can’t be seen.
This combo will do best in a part sun location. The hotel is old world charm, classic, beautiful and clean. Impeccable service from reception to service staff. The room was comfortable and big enough for our family , really enjoyed the bar stocked with complimentary drinks and fresh fruit. Use contrasting colors to add an eye-catching display to your garden.
Hang and Water Your Sphere Hanging Basket
The next morning was the same when we ran into staff who barely acknowledged us which was a little off putting. However, the Schloss itself is beautiful and our room was lovely as were the grounds. I loved the traditional decor not being a fan of the cookie cutter modern designs all hotels seem to have these days. Use a marker to make a dot or X on the liners where you'll add plants. Space planting holes evenly, about 3 inches apart. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut planting holes in the liners where you made marks.
Orange and purple are a no-fail mix that will always make an impact. To enhance the effect, this arrangement weaves in some silvery tones from licorice vine. Another secret that interior and garden designers often use is to mix colors that jump a couple of spots on the color wheel. Here, for example, pale yellow adds subtle interest to this otherwise pink-red color combo of sun-loving calibrachoa and verbena. Color can affect your mood—so use it to your advantage. This is a great example; pastel shades of lavender and fuchsia pop with a bit of white to create a soft, romantic look in a sunny spot.
Hanging baskets
You can make maintenance a breeze with a planting of drought-tolerant hens and chicks, echeveria, sedum, or other succulents. They're an unusual choice, but require next to no watering, even in hot, sunny situations. Tie two hanging baskets together to create a fun DIY succulent orb, perfect for a spot in full sun. Hanging baskets often rely on a bunch of different plants for creating contrasts in color or texture. But you can create equally good looks without going overboard, even in a shady spot with impatiens in similar colors. They will fill a hanging basket with their delicate-looking blooms from early summer to frost.
It's no wonder they're tried-and-true favorites for hanging baskets, too. This red geranium is dressed up with a flowing skirt of draping ivy, blue lobelia, and a top hat of a simple dracaena for a classic look in a full sun location. This container uses some of the same plants as the last one, but the warm, glowing shades create a completely different look. This exciting combo is well suited to a sunny spot where you entertain because of its energizing, festive colors. Create a "wow" moment by using colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Here, for example, rich purple makes a stunning contrast to golden-chartreuse.
Pick Drought-Resistant Plants
Small baskets can create as big an impact as larger ones—you just need to pick the right plants. The secret for success is to go for plants that stay smaller but have colorful leaves like coleus and variegated varieties of favorites like vinca. Add in an impatiens, and you'll have a colorful basket sure to brighten a shady spot all summer long. Here, butterfly orchid, an underused but long-blooming tomato relative, does the job perfectly. This colorful combo will prefer a shady spot, and will stop blooming once summer heat sets in. Even though they're old-fashioned, geraniums are still a top pick for hot, sunny garden beds—and they mix well with just about everything.
Squeeze the soil gently to release excess water. Tuck each root ball into a planting hole so that each plant's stem is at the same depth is was before in its pot. If necessary, use a spoon to dig out a little space to fit all the roots into your sphere planter. Use your fingers to firm the soil around each plant to hold it in place.
This basket will sizzle all summer long in a sunny spot. You can't go wrong decorating a shady nook with the rose-like flowers of tuberous begonia and double impatiens. They'll add that little something extra to your hanging basket and keep on blooming all summer long. Look for double impatiens in a wide range of colors, from white to pink to red and even bicolors.
Decided to then try the Palmengarten and had a fantastic afternoon. It was well designed and everything was easily accessible; the food was also very reasonable. If you are choosing between the free botanical gardens or this one, choose this one...hands down; the other is just a park with name plates. Place a flat piece of thick cardboard over the soil in the basket that will form the top half of the sphere.
