Planters & Raised Beds

An easy way to make your garden look neat and well-ordered. Raised beds help to contain your plants or vegetables in a controllable environment, ensuring their growth potential.

Planters come in a wide range of styles, ensuring you will find something to fit the aesthetic of your garden. You can also paint them to make a statement or to fit in with your pre-existing garden colour scheme.

Why Use Planters and Raised Beds in the Garden?

It depends on the goals of your garden, but you’ll always want to be able to carry out the proper care for your flowers or vegetables. Regular watering and soil replenishment are crucial to the success of your efforts. Keeping plants isolated from one another will enable you to control their environment much easier, and therefore improve the health of your plants.

But that isn’t the only reason to use raised flower beds, let’s look at some of the others in detail:

• Improved Drainage – By raising the plant bed off the ground they will have better drainage. This will prevent you from getting waterlogged soil and avoid irritating conditions like root rot.
• Controlled Soil Quality – Easily control the quality of the soil used. Create optimal growing conditions by curating the exact type of soil you use to grow certain plants.
• Weed Control – Having an enclosed space to grow plants makes the likelihood of getting weeds much smaller. This reduces the amount of weed maintenance needed to keep your plants healthy.
• Accessibility – Raised flower beds are easier to reach. Less bending and stooping for you, making gardening more comfortable, especially for those with mobility issues.
• Pest Control – If you fit raised beds with mesh or netting, you can create effective control against pests. Planters in an elevated position deter ground-dwelling critters and the mesh will keep out rabbits and rodents.
• Soil Conservation – A raised bed can help with soil erosion and compaction. Helps greatly in sloped gardens.
• Improved Water Efficiency – Helps to improve water efficiency by allowing you to target water onto the roots of plants directly.
• Optimising Space – Make the most out of your garden space. Planters and raised beds are space-efficient and ideal for use in areas with poor soil quality.

As well as the gardening benefits of using raised beds, there are also many styles to choose from. You’ll find planters of all shapes and sizes, a perfect addition to any garden.
