The Exeter™ Georgian-Style Planter
Made in Oak, Iroko or Accoya
A Georgian-Style Garden Planter
The Exeter™ is a refined wooden planter inspired by the symmetry, proportion and restrained architectural detailing associated with Georgian design.
Its balanced square form, vertical timber boarding and understated detailing create a formal appearance without excessive ornament, allowing the planting and surrounding architecture to remain the focus.
Handmade to order in our Cotswolds workshop, the Exeter can be specified in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™ and carefully proportioned to suit its location and planting.
Its classical character makes it particularly suited to period properties, formal gardens, terraces, courtyards and entrances where symmetry and proportion are important to the overall design.
Restrained Architectural Detailing
The character of the Exeter comes from proportion rather than decoration.
Clean lines, carefully balanced dimensions and substantial 90 × 70 mm legs give the planter architectural presence while retaining the restrained appearance associated with Georgian design.
This makes the Exeter particularly effective where the planter needs to complement traditional architecture without competing with it.
Commission an Exeter™ Planter
Every Exeter™ planter is individually handmade to order in our Cotswolds workshop.
Available in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, dimensions and finishes can be specified to complement the planting, property and surrounding landscape.
Whether you require an individual planter, a matching pair or a coordinated collection, tell us about your project and we’ll be delighted to discuss the appropriate specification.
Designed for Formal Gardens & Period Properties
The Exeter’s symmetry and restrained detailing make it particularly suited to formal gardens and properties where the architecture calls for a carefully proportioned planter.
Used as a matching pair, Exeter planters can frame entrances, doorways and terraces. Individually, they provide structure and a focal point within courtyards, formal planting schemes and established gardens.
Their generous proportions provide space for topiary, shrubs and medium-sized specimen trees while maintaining a balanced relationship between the planter and its planting.
The gallery photograph showing the natural timber Exeter with sculptural topiary would work very well beneath this section.
Oak, Iroko or Accoya™
Oak Exeter Planters
Oak provides natural grain and traditional character, making it particularly appropriate for period properties, country houses and established gardens where the timber can weather naturally.
Iroko Exeter Planters
Iroko provides a durable hardwood option with a warm natural appearance suited to traditional and contemporary garden settings.
Painted Accoya™ Exeter Planters
Accoya™ offers excellent dimensional stability and is particularly suited to high-quality painted finishes. A chosen colour can be used to coordinate the Exeter with doors, windows, exterior joinery or other architectural details.
