Surprising summer trend #1 - hanging plant holders

Ask any child of the seventies and they'll remember the hanging plant holder - think knotted macramé, wooden beads, spider plants and ferns - with happy memories of school crafting sessions spent knotting away with a ball of jute and a handful of beads. And while these macramé holders (from £47 each) from Graham and Green sum up the seventies look perfectly, our 2015 round-up also offers a more modern twist on the retro trend.
