Garden Planters

Choose a stable position with suitable levels of sunlight or shade for the plants you’re growing. Planters can be used in many parts of an outdoor space, including patios, alongside paths or for framing a doorway. Remember to consider how easily you’ll be able to water and maintain the plants once the container is in position.

Garden planters can be used for a wide variety of flowers, herbs, shrubs and other plants. What you can grow will depend on the size and depth of the planter, its position and the needs of the individual plants, so choose a container that provides suitable growing space.

Consider both the current size of the plant and the space its roots will require as it grows. A large planter can provide more growing space for suitable plants, while smaller containers can work well for compact displays. Always check the planter’s dimensions before ordering.

Garden planters are designed for outdoor use, but their care requirements can vary depending on their material and construction. Weather conditions can also affect both the container and the plants inside it, so check the individual product information and consider whether your plants require additional seasonal protection.

Keep the planter reasonably clean and periodically inspect the timber for signs of damage or deterioration. Pressure-treated wooden planters have additional protection against rot and decay, but you should still follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and any maintenance requirements for your particular product.
