The Wadham Classic™ Country House Planter
An English Country House Planter
The Wadham Classic™ takes its inspiration from the proportions and architectural detailing of traditional English country houses and formal gardens.
Developed from the original Wadham™, the Classic introduces a more refined character through hand-formed metal straps, restrained detailing and carefully balanced proportions.
We deliberately designed the Wadham Classic™ for much larger dimensions, giving it the scale and presence required for specimen trees, substantial planting and grand architectural settings.
We make each Wadham Classic™ individually to order, considering its proportions, timber and finish in relation to the planting, property and surrounding landscape.
Traditional Detail, Considered Engineering
Hand-formed metal straps give the Wadham Classic™ its distinctive character and introduce a traditional material detail that sets it apart from the original Wadham™.
Larger dimensions demand careful consideration of proportion, strength and planting load. We engineer each Wadham Classic™ individually for its scale and intended planting, giving it the strength required for long-term exterior use.
Its substantial proportions sit naturally within country houses, estate gardens, large terraces, courtyards and formal landscapes.
Commission a Wadham Classic™ Planter
The Wadham Classic™ can be commissioned individually, as a matching pair or in larger dimensions for specimen trees and substantial planting.

Designed for Formal Gardens and Entrances
The symmetry and substantial proportions of the Wadham Classic™ make it particularly suited to country houses, formal gardens and architectural entrances.
Used as a matching pair, the planters can frame a doorway, gateway or terrace, while individually they provide structure and presence within courtyards and established gardens.
The design was deliberately conceived for larger dimensions, allowing specimen trees, topiary and substantial planting to sit comfortably within its proportions.
Oak, Iroko or Accoya™
Oak gives the Wadham Classic™ a traditional character particularly suited to country houses and period architecture, while Iroko offers a quieter natural finish. Both can be left to weather naturally over time.
For painted commissions, Accoya™ offers excellent dimensional stability and allows colour to be considered alongside doors, windows and other exterior joinery.
