Choosing the right container size

Selecting the right-sized container is key to thriving plants. When choosing pots, consider factors like size, style, material, durability, and weight, as well as the type of plant you’re growing. For instance, a tree will need a much larger container than flowers or vegetables.

When it comes to container types, the possibilities are endless!

Whether it’s sleek concrete planters, terracotta or plastic pots, or creative upcycled items like old bathtubs, teapots, or gumboots, your choice depends on your space and desired aesthetic. Just make sure the container has proper drainage holes and is slightly elevated to prevent water from pooling at the roots.

Raised Garden Bed Planters: Perfect for Small Spaces

If space is limited, raised garden bed planters are a great option and your local garden centre will have an array of options. Perfect for herbs, flowers, or small plants, they fit neatly on balconies, patios, or courtyards.

Flexible and Easy to Use
One of their biggest benefits is flexibility. If your planter doesn’t have legs, add wheels before potting it up so you can move it easily. This allows you to adjust its position for the best sunlight and warmth, promoting healthier, more productive plants.

Simplified Gardening
Container gardening simplifies soil control and pest management, making it ideal for herbs, veggies, or flowers. Whether you’re starting small or experimenting, raised planters are a rewarding choice.
