Again, thanks all for the tips. Would anyone have a suggestion about tables or benches for the plants? Could this also be a diy thing? I would think some kind of plastic shelving with a grate for a tabletop, for drainage, would work well. Though if you have multiple levels, I guess you wouldn't want upper plants dripping on the lower. Are there setups with a drain, or else should one just use pebble trays for drainage?

So you've given me good ideas for hanging plants. I would also appreciate any suggestions for purchasing or DIY shelves/tables/benches!
