School Planters & Planter Beds
Planter Beds
A range of very sturdily built, interchangeable planter boxes that are interlocking for stability when stacked and versatility – particularly when space is at a premium. Each box is 300mm deep and as a single layer are perfect for the shallower roots of seedlings and vegetables like lettuces and tomatoes; add another layer of boxes to accommodate the deeper roots of shrubs or grow potatoes and even prize winning parsnips.
Clever, removable slatted inserts create a potting bench or seat space that doesn’t have to permanently encroach on growing space.
