A Tapered Wooden Planter

The Merton™ combines a gently tapered form with clean, considered proportions. Each planter is made using traditional joinery techniques, bringing the disciplines of cabinet making to a substantial exterior piece.

Made individually to order in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, the dimensions and finish are considered for the setting and intended planting.

Designed for Larger Dimensions

The Merton™ was deliberately designed for larger proportions, where its tapered form retains its balance while providing the presence required for substantial planting.

Particularly suited to specimen trees and substantial shrubs, the engineering of each planter is considered according to its scale, proportions and anticipated planting load.
