A Sculptural Wooden Planter

The Pembroke™ is a distinctive tall wooden planter designed to bring height, structure and planting into gardens, terraces and courtyards.

Its faceted form, vertically fluted timber and gently arched upper profile create a strong architectural silhouette without relying on elaborate ornamentation. A discreet walnut detail positioned beneath the arch provides a subtle point of contrast and reflects the attention to detail found throughout the design.

Originally created exclusively for Oxford Planters by Andrew Fisher Tomlin of Fisher Tomlin & Bowyer in 2007, the Pembroke™ has an individual character quite unlike our more traditional square planters.

Designed with Height and Presence

The Pembroke™ uses height to create presence while retaining relatively compact proportions at ground level.

This makes it particularly effective where planting needs to introduce a strong vertical element — beside an entrance, within a courtyard, against architectural elevations or as part of a more contemporary garden scheme.

Its proportions also lend themselves particularly well to clipped topiary and other planting where the relationship between planter and plant is an important part of the overall composition.

Individually Handmade in the Cotswolds

Every Pembroke™ is made to order in our Cotswolds workshop.

It can be commissioned in hand-selected Oak or Iroko for the natural character of hardwood, or in Accoya™ where a high-quality painted finish is required.

Careful joinery, flush-fitting joints and the precision required to create its faceted form are integral to the design. Each planter is individually made rather than adapted from a mass-produced container.
