Outdoor Planters & Garden Tools

Choosing the Right Outdoor Planters

Add personality and life to your space with outdoor planters, an essential element of your garden design and outdoor decor. With a wide variety of options available, we'll help you choose planters that not only suit your aesthetic, but also cater to the needs of your plants and local climate. Whether you're looking to revamp your patio, balcony or garden, the right planter can make all the difference.

Material Matters

The choice of material is a crucial part of selecting the perfect outdoor planters. Consider the following:

• Ceramic and Terracotta: Provide a classic, countryside look but may not withstand freezing temperatures.
• Metal: Offers durability and sleek, modern appeal, with rust-resistant options available for longevity.
• Wood: Brings a natural aesthetic but requires special treatment to hold up to the elements.

Consider your local climate, decor style and the level of maintenance you're willing to put in when choosing the material for your plant's new home.

Placement and Purpose

Think about where and how you plan to use your outdoor planters:

• Hanging Planters: Ideal for balconies and patios, saving floor space while adding greenery.
• Freestanding Pots: Make a statement in larger spaces like gardens or spacious patios.

Consider the planter's function: Adding a decorative pop of color with florals, testing out your green thumb by growing herbs and vegetables or creating privacy with taller plants around your outdoor lounging area.

FAQs

• How do I choose the right size outdoor planter for my space?
  • Match the planter size to the scale of your space and the growth needs of your plants. Extra greenery breathes new life into outdoor spaces large and small but a giant tree pot on a small balcony will take up too much space and a small planter will get lost on a big deck.
• Can all materials withstand extreme weather conditions?
  • Choosing materials like concrete, powder-coated metal or treated wood for their resilience can help keep your outdoor space looking fresh throughout the seasons.
• Are there eco-friendly outdoor planters available?
  • Look for planters made from recycled or upcycled materials or sustainable resources like fast-growing bamboo for an earth-minded choice.
• How do I care for my outdoor planters to ensure longevity?
  • Maintain planters with regular cleaning, ensure proper drainage and apply protective coatings when needed. Tidying your new pots not only looks appealing, but also keeps your plants happy and thriving.
