This Rectangular Planter is a Horticulturalists Delight!
I don’t know about you, but at this time of year I adore getting the garden all spruced up! One of the easiest ways to do this is with garden planters. This way you can move your arrangements to wherever you might like within the garden.
We love this planter by Rowlinson, it is strong and sturdy because it is made with good-quality wood. It looks appealing and blends well with most gardens as it has a light wooden finish. The Wooden Planter Box is pressure treated to be resistant to rotting and is long lasting. You can easily use it to plant and cultivate different types of plants and herbs. It is suitable for shrubs and vegetables too.
Features
- Construction Material: Pressure treated solid wood with stainless steel hardware
- Due to natural materials, colour of product received will differ slightly to this image
- The wooden planters may show a light green residue. The green appearance of the product is caused by pressure treatment. Excess of the preserver comes out in the form of green salt stains. This can be removed by light sanding or it will disappear naturally with time
- Seasonal Effects On Timber: Wood is a natural material and therefore may be affected by changes in the weather conditions. During periods of high temperatures and excessive dry spells its moisture content will reduce which may lead shrinkage of some components resulting in small cracks or splits, once a spell of wet weather returns the components will again regain its moisture and the component will return to their original size. Splitting will be more prevalent in larger sections of timber and will not affect its structural stability of the product. This process cannot be avoided, but effects can be reduced by spraying water directly on to the product during periods of hot weather.

My top garden tip is to use a lawn service that treats and maintains the lawn every few months. It takes a lot of pressure off to focus on the smaller plants.
Keep weeds under control!
Always aerate your lawn in spring by making holes in it with your garden fork. It does it the world of good and rake the grass to keep it from compacting
Beware of late frosts so don’t put plants out too early.
Get a compost bin
Don’t get behind with the weeding because they will take over!
Remember to take some quiet time out to just sit and enjoy the tranquillity of your garden and the results of your work and planting!
Sweep the path/terrace/balcony/any hard standing areas for an instant “cared for” look.
we use a lot of the drippers so that the water gets to the roots
Use a paint scraper to clear inbetween the gaps of paving slabs
remove weeds and water your plants every day, as it means there’s less to do in one go!
Keep YOUR plants warm – frost is a killer
Introduce lots of bee friendly plants and blossom for butterflies. Make your garden a magical oasis of calm.
Mowing the lawn makes your garden look much tidier instantly
A good balanced humus-rich compost round new plants will encourage rapid, unimpeded roots that develop and give you bigger plants.
Schedule time for it every week
Get help when needed,
Keep on top of the weeding by doing it little and often.
You don5 need to be an expert, just plant things you love ( but ask what conditions they prefer first!)
Weed often so it does not turn into a big job.
See a weed, pluck it out !
Plant quite densely to hinder those weeds.
Water the pots!
dont try and take on too much too soon, start small!
Enjoy the garden by relaxing in it often and you will find you want to do a little bit of work now and then and hey presto it looks great!
Vegetables, herbs and fruit are often easy to grow in small spaces like windowsills, patio pot and planters. Not only do they look good but taste so much better too.
Get to grips with pruning. It neatens and makes the plant healthier and more productive too.
Letting an area go to meadow is a beautiful way to encourage bees, butterflies and other wildlife and is very low maintenance too!
best garden tip, get your hubby to do it. put egg shells around your plants it stops a lot of the slugs eating your veg
My top gardening tip is to not be too ambitious in your design, let the garden be an enjoyment not a chore. Get help when needed.
Little and often and try to get ahead in the spring
