Spring Garden Inspiration - Fibreclay Planters

Spring is in full swing, and with summer just on the horizon, our thoughts are very much in the garden, and what we can do to brighten up our outdoor spaces, ready to spend more time outside in the sunshine.

An assortment of well-placed planters is a simple, but wonderfully effective way to add colour, character and interest to any garden with ease. Great to elevate a patio or decking, and a low-effort alternative to digging flowerbeds with just as beautiful a payoff, and you can even display them either side of a door to create a welcoming feature for visitors.

We have lots of plant pots across a range of sizes and materials to suit all gardens, as well as your choice of plants, and to help you decide which is the best for your needs, we’ve outlined the best features of our different collections – so read on and be inspired.

If you value something hardwearing that’s made to last for years but still look as good as new, we recommend our fibreclay planters. Immensely popular when we launched them last year, our new additions have recently arrived to give you even more to choose from! A crack-resistant alternative to plastic plant pots, fibre clay is specially designed to survive all kinds of harsh weather (great news for gardeners who are all too familiar with the changeable British climate!)

For all its durability, fibreclay still manages to be lightweight and easy to carry compared to heavier terracotta and other earthenware planters, but our favourite feature has to be the fantastic range of colours available, as well as the variety of unusual embossed designs -guaranteed to create an eye-catching feature that will make your garden stand out from the crowd.

For those who prefer to stick to tradition when it comes to decorating their garden for the summer months, our wicker planter collection offers a touch of rustic charm. When properly treated and cared for, wicker plant pots are also durable and long-lasting, but their best feature which makes them a firm favourite with us, is the eco-friendly properties of the natural materials. Whether rattan or seagrass, bamboo or water hyacinth, we have plenty to please those who are looking to make more environmentally conscious decisions.

Because the fibres are carefully woven, the planter frames give extra breathability and air-flow which in turn helps to promote healthier plant growth. And if the weather should take a bad turn, wicker is so easy to transition to indoor planters, so you can still enjoy the pots inside. The natural tones will complement any interior décor style, whether classic or contemporary.

Speaking of contemporary, the industrial-inspired character of our metal planters makes these a great choice for anyone who appreciates a more modern look. A galvanised finish elevates the metal with subtle interest, while the variety of embossed patterns brings added texture. Durable in appearance, yet lightweight enough to move around wherever needed, metal is resistant to fading and cracking, to help keep the pots looking good with minimal maintenance.

Equally suited to flowers and home-grown herbs and veg, metal garden planters are especially good at retaining heat, helping to keep the roots of certain plants warm, which also promotes growth.
