B&M's 3 Favourite Wooden Planters & What to Grow in Them

Wooden planters are a must for any garden. Whether your outdoor area consists of just a small, paved courtyard or you already boast a huge treasure trove of flowerbeds, the addition of a planter or two is guaranteed to enhance your garden’s aesthetic appeal.

Your choice of garden planters and what to grow in them are obviously matters of personal taste, but as there are so many planters and plants to choose from, we thought we’d give you a helping hand by making a few suggestions.

B&M’s Top 3 Wooden Planters

So, in no particular order, here are 3 of our favourite wooden planters, along with some ideas about what to grow in them...

5'3 x 5'3 Forest Linear Corner Wooden Planter (1.6m x 1.6m)

This wooden planter is specifically designed to fill a corner space, so whether you’re looking to beautify a small backyard or brighten up an overlooked area of a larger garden, it will fit the bill perfectly.

Supplied with a great 15-year guarantee, this corner planter features clean, modern lines and a premium, pressure-treated build, so there’s no need to choose between beauty and brawn – you get the best of both worlds.

Why not grow a running bamboo in your new planter to form a contemporary garden screen? With it safely contained within the planter, you’ve no need to worry about it spreading and getting out of control.

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

Now how about this as a way to maximise your garden space?! Vertical gardening is all the rage at the moment and this premium tall wall planter comes with a contemporary slatted design to help you make a real statement in your garden.

Expertly crafted from ethically-sourced wood, pressure treated and supplied with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, this garden planter is both a stylish and practical way to grow plants in a confined space. If you’ve got the room on your wall, why not buy the 1-shelf version too?

Imagine fixing this wooden planter to the outside wall, next to your kitchen, and attaching a variety of small pots containing your favourite herbs. Mealtimes will never have tasted so good!

Forest Large Kitchen Garden Planter 6' x 2' (1.8m x 0.7m)

On the subject of food, what about a large wooden planter to grow your own fruit and veg? Well, this kitchen garden planter, with its generous 250-litre capacity, is ideal for that purpose. Salad leaves, tomatoes and peppers are just a few of our suggestions but, ultimately, the choice is yours.

This wooden planter is UK-made, pressure treated and backed by a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, so you know it’s built to last and will remain a much-loved feature in your garden for many years to come.
