The St Catherines™ Wooden Planter
Made in Oak, Iroko or Accoya
A Distinctive Geometric Wooden Planter
The St Catherine’s™ is one of our most distinctive wooden planters, combining strong architectural proportions with bold semicircular detailing.
Curved timber elements sit within each framed panel, creating depth, shadow and a changing perspective as the planter is viewed from different angles. The result is decorative without being ornate, giving the St Catherine’s™ a strong presence in both traditional and contemporary settings.
We make each St Catherine’s™ individually to order, with its proportions considered in relation to the planting and architectural setting.
Defined by Architectural Detail
The character of the St Catherine’s™ comes from the contrast between its curved detailing and strongly proportioned outer frame.
The repeated semicircular motif introduces rhythm across each elevation, while the substantial frame gives the design structure and balance.
Used individually or as a matching pair, the St Catherine’s™ can frame an entrance, punctuate a terrace or introduce a strong architectural element within a formal garden.
Designed for Larger Dimensions
The St Catherine’s™ was deliberately designed to be made in much larger dimensions, where its substantial frame and bold geometric detailing retain their balance and architectural presence.
We consider the engineering of each planter according to its scale and anticipated planting load, making the St Catherine’s™ particularly suited to specimen trees and substantial planting.
Commission a St Catherines™ Planter
Commission the St Catherine’s™ individually, as a matching pair or in larger dimensions for substantial planting and wider landscape schemes.

Architectural Rhythm and Repetition
The bold geometry of the St Catherine’s™ gives it presence as an individual planter, while its repeated semicircular detailing makes it particularly effective when used in pairs or larger arrangements.
A matching pair can bring symmetry to an entrance or gateway, while a series of planters introduces rhythm across a terrace, courtyard or formal landscape.
Its strong proportions allow the design to retain its character at much larger dimensions, making it particularly suited to substantial architectural planting.
Oak, Iroko or Accoya™
Oak and Iroko bring natural grain and warmth to the geometric detailing of the St Catherine’s™ and can be left to weather naturally over time.
For painted commissions, Accoya™ offers excellent dimensional stability and allows colour to emphasise the framed panels and distinctive semicircular detailing.

Yes. The symmetry of the design makes matching pairs particularly effective for entrances, gateways, terraces and formal garden settings.
Is the St Catherine’s™ suitable for specimen trees?
Yes. Its substantial proportions make the St Catherine’s™ particularly suited to specimen trees and larger planting. We consider the engineering of each planter according to its dimensions and anticipated planting load.
