The Finest in British Outdoor Joinery:
Established in 2004, Oxford Planters specialises in bespoke outdoor furniture and architectural garden pieces, from hardwood planters and benches to outdoor kitchens, gates and garden structures.
Each commission is individually made to order in our Cotswolds workshop, drawing upon traditional cabinet making, architectural joinery and more than two decades of specialist knowledge.
Our work is commissioned by private clients, garden designers, interior designers and architects, alongside leading heritage organisations including the National Trust and Historic Royal Palaces.
Our planters are no exception. Designed for direct planting and engineered for the considerable forces held within, their distinction goes far beyond what is immediately visible.
An Oxford Planter. The difference is in what you can’t see.
