Hanging baskets and other plants watered while you're on holiday. Daily visits or as needed depending on weather. Come home to a thriving garden, not dead flowers and crispy leaves.
### Don't Come Home to Dead Baskets
Going away for a week in summer? Your hanging baskets **won't survive without water**. They might manage three days if you soak them before you go, but a full week? They'll be crispy.
We've all done it - come back from holiday to find the carefully tended baskets you've nurtured all season are just brown twigs and dead petals. Gutting.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Hanging baskets dry out way faster than pots on the ground because they're exposed to wind on all sides and they drain quickly. In hot weather they need water every single day.

Good to Know
> 🌤️ **Weather dependent:** If the forecast changes and we get a rainy spell while you're away, I won't water unnecessarily. You're paying for plant care, not robotic schedule-following regardless of conditions. **Key location:** Let me know where you leave a key (keysafe code, neighbour, under plant pot - whatever works). I won't need to come inside, just access to your garden. **Other jobs?** While I'm visiting anyway, I can deadhead flowers, pick vegetables, bring bins in/out - whatever helps. Just ask. **Exeter-area gardens:** Most of our Exeter summers need daily watering for baskets. Devon gets warm but we do get rain - I'll adjust the schedule to actual conditions, not just water blindly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hanging basket watering in Teignmouth
Why do I need someone to water my baskets on holiday?
Hanging baskets dry out fast - they're exposed to sun and wind, and there's not much soil in them. In summer they can need watering every day or they'll be dead within a week. Pots on the ground handle a few days, but baskets? They need attention.
How often will you water them?
Depends on the weather when you're away. Hot summer - daily. Cooler or rainy spells - every other day or as needed. I'll check them and water when they need it, not just stick to a rigid schedule. You want them watered properly, not drowned or dried out.
Can you water other things while you're here?
Yes - pots, planters, vegetable patches, whatever needs doing. Makes sense to sort the whole garden in one visit rather than just the baskets. Just let me know what needs attention.
How does the pricing work for holiday watering?
£60 covers the first visit plus a few follow-up checks. Longer holidays or more frequent visits will be a bit more. I'll give you a total price once I know your dates and what needs doing - you'll know the cost before you go away.
Can you send me proof you've been?
Yes - I can text you a photo after each visit so you know it's been done. Gives you peace of mind when you're away. Most people appreciate seeing their garden's still looking good while they're on the beach.
