The Merton No.3™ Wooden Planter
Made in Oak, Iroko or Accoya
A Contemporary Planter with Traditional Joinery
The Merton No.3™ combines a clean, straight-sided form with traditional pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery, bringing cabinet-making discipline to a restrained contemporary design.
Each planter is made individually to order, with proportions and finish considered for its planting and setting.
Designed for Larger Proportions
The simplicity and structure of the Merton No.3™ make it particularly well suited to much larger sizes. Its clean architectural form retains its balance as the proportions increase, making it a natural choice where substantial wooden planters are required.
Made for Specimen Planting
Merton No.3™ planters are made in proportions appropriate for specimen trees and substantial shrubs. The engineering of each planter is considered according to its scale, proportions and anticipated planting load.

Traditional Detail, Contemporary Setting
The Merton No.3™ brings visible traditional joinery to a restrained straight-sided form, allowing it to sit naturally between traditional architecture and contemporary landscape design.
Its understated character works particularly well at entrances, across terraces and within schemes where natural materials and architectural planting are brought together.
Oak, Iroko or Accoya™
Oak and Iroko emphasise the Merton No.3™’s traditional joinery and can be left to weather naturally, developing greater character over time.
For a painted finish, Accoya™ offers excellent stability and gives the Merton No.3™ a more architectural appearance.
