Wooden Planters
The ugly grey tone of wooden garden planters are now all the vogue, some people even have theirs pre-aged to give it the look! Whiskey barrels fall into this category. Many have used wooden planters as water gardens with great effect. There also resin ones nowadays which have the 'wood' look but don't require the preparation needed to make it watertight (for water garden uses). The size of these wooden planters makes them ideal for larger shrubs or small trees. I've even seen them used as a vegetable or herb garden, ideal for outside the kitchen door.
There are lots of different varieties of wooden planters on the net (a lot more than you’d find in any one nursery!), these are my favorites:
 Cedar planters This elegantly styled planter will add a touch of distinction to any deck or terrace. Crafted of heavy Western Red Cedar, each planter is packaged with a plastic soil holder, as well as all hardware necessary for assembly and attachment to arbors or pyramids. Heavy duty lattice panels are glued at every joint and set into channels in the surrounding frame. Fine lattice side panels are backed by corrosion-resistant galvanized roofing steel. Packaged in a single carton, complete with all hardware and fully illustrated instructions. Click here |
