Are you thinking of taking up gardening next year? Or are you already a seasoned gardener, who’s looking to add to your existing growing area? Well, whatever your circumstances, we stock a superb range of wooden planters to cater for budding gardeners and green-fingered experts alike.

Our outdoor planters come in a huge variety of designs and sizes, so there’s sure to be one that perfectly meets your needs. What they all have in common is that they’re made by Forest (the UK’s leading manufacturer of wooden garden products), they’re pressure treated against rot and supplied with a fabulous 15-year anti-rot guarantee, so no further treatment is required, saving you money and leaving you more time to enjoy your gardening.

In fact, when you buy a wooden garden planter through us, you can rest assured that it’s going to comfortably withstand whatever the Great British weather throws at it and become a much-loved feature of your garden for many years to come.

To give you a taste of our planters for sale, let’s take a look at seven of our favourites, right now…

Forest Caledonian Small Raised Bed 3' x 3' (0.9m x 0.9m)

This small raised bed is a great starter planter for anyone who wants to begin growing their own produce. In fact, its basic structure, versatility, and easily-accessible growing area make it the perfect planter for introducing your children to gardening.

Made in the UK, from extra-thick 40mm timber, this garden planter is most certainly built to last. The wood used to build it is FSC® certified, which is exclusively sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests.

A simple, understated design ensures this wooden planter will beautifully complement absolutely any style of garden.
It comes with fixings and instructions for an incredibly easy assembly.

2'7 x 1'4 Forest Trellis Wooden Garden Planter (0.8m x 0.4m)

Trellis is a beautiful garden feature in its own right, and when used to train and support climbing plants it looks absolutely sublime.

This outdoor planter features a slatted design, diamond-trellis back panel and sumptuous smooth-planed finish, which combine to create an exceptionally eye-catching appearance. Once again, all of the timber is FSC® certified, which is the world’s most trusted mark for sustainable forestry.

Pressure-treated bearers keep the base off the ground, allowing air to circulate in this key area and providing the planter with another layer of protection against rot-causing ground moisture.

Combine all of these factors together and you’ve got a raised garden bed that boasts both beauty and brawn, making the perfect home for your favourite climbing plant.

2' x 2' Forest Potato Planter (0.6m x 0.6m)

The most versatile crop you can grow has to be the potato, and this garden planter is specifically designed for doing just that job. So, if you’re planning to start growing your own produce, this wooden planter is a great place to start.

As a small 2x2 planter, it will unobtrusively fit into any area of your garden but, with a height of well over two feet, there’s still ample space for your potatoes to thrive.

The planter’s side door gives you very easy access to your potato crop, and is fitted with a bolt to keep it secure when not in use.

Other notable features include pressure-treated bearers, for extra protection against ground moisture, and a stunning smooth-planed finish for that extra touch of class.

Forest Grow Bag Planter 3'9" x 1'10 (1.15m x 0.55m)

Talking of homegrown produce, how about buying this beautifully designed wooden garden planter, which is perfectly sized for grow bags?

As so many vegetables, fruit and herbs thrive in grow bags, this grow-bag planter is a great way to cultivate your very own kitchen garden on a sunny patio.

If you’re using bamboo canes to support your plants, the planter’s integrated cross bar ensures they remain secure, while a high-sided design helps keep your patio soil free.

This raised bed’s elevated height means you can comfortably tend to your plants, even if you have mobility issues. It is absolutely ideal for wheelchair users.

Strong, stylish and practical, what’s not to love about this wooden planter?

Forest Kendal Square Wooden Garden Planter 1'8 x 1'8 (0.5m x 0.5m) - Set of 3

With a stunning contemporary design and top-quality build, this set of three wooden planters represents extraordinary value for money.

Naturally, you can choose to use them independently of each other, dotted around the garden, but we believe they look their best when grouped together on the patio.

If you choose to use them to grow your own produce, the two larger planters are ideal for a variety of vegetables, while the smaller model is perfectly sized for herbs.

And should colourful blooms be more to your liking, this set of garden planters will help you create the finest floral display for miles around.

Forest’s usual stamp of quality is clearly evident on all these garden planters, which feature FSC® wood, pressure-treated bearers and a charming natural-timber finish.

5'11 Forest Slatted Tall Wall Planter - 2 Shelves (0.6m x 0.18m)

Tall-wall planters suit any type of property, but are particularly useful if you have limited outdoor space. This is because instead of growing your plants on the ground, you grow them in pots, attached to the planter. This is known as vertical gardening.

This particular tall-wall planter comes with a slatted design and two shelves, so there’s ample space for a wide range of potted plants. And thanks to its modularity, you can fix the shelves in different positions on the planter, to both cater for the type of plants you’re growing and satisfy your eye for design.

Made from premium timber and boasting a rebated frame with mortise and tenon corner joints, this wooden planter is as strong as it is stylish.

2'7 x 2'7 Forest Linear Corner Wooden Planter (0.8m x 0.8m)

If you’re looking to fill an unused corner of your garden, or want another planter but are short on patio space, this cleverly designed corner planter will fit the bill perfectly.

A smart contemporary style and noticeably high-quality build will ensure this wooden planter becomes a much-loved feature of your garden for decades to come.

It includes pressure-treated bearers, to protect the base from ground moisture, as well as a porous lining to help keep the soil moist without getting waterlogged.

If you’re in two minds about whether you’ve got room in your garden for this wooden planter, picture it as home to your favourite flowering plants, and we’ll see you at the checkout.
