The Wadham Classic™ Country House Planter
An English Country House Planter
The Wadham Classic™ is a substantial wooden planter inspired by the proportions and architectural detailing associated with traditional English country houses and formal gardens.
Building on the strong construction of the original Wadham, the Classic introduces a softer, more refined character through its handcrafted decorative straps, subtle detailing and carefully balanced proportions.
The result is a formal garden planter with sufficient presence for entrances, terraces, courtyards and larger landscaped settings, while retaining the craftsmanship and structural integrity expected from a piece of fine exterior joinery.
Each Wadham Classic is individually handmade to order in our Cotswolds workshop in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, allowing the material and finish to be selected to complement the property and surrounding landscape.
Traditional Detailing & Craftsmanship
The distinctive character of the Wadham Classic comes from the details.
Each fixed metal strap is individually crafted and shaped by hand, providing both structural support and a decorative element that distinguishes the Classic from the original Wadham.

Explore Wadham Classic™ planters in a selection of country-house, entrance, terrace and formal garden settings, with different timber and painted finishes.
Designed for Formal Gardens & Entrances
The symmetry and architectural proportions of the Wadham Classic make it particularly suited to formal garden settings.
Used as a matching pair, the planters can frame a doorway, entrance, gateway or terrace, while individual planters provide structure and focal points within courtyards and established gardens.
Their substantial proportions also allow larger shrubs, topiary and specimen planting to be incorporated without the planter appearing visually overwhelmed by the planting.
Your third gallery photograph of the matching pair at the entrance would actually be an excellent image immediately after this section if you have a higher-resolution version.

Iroko Wadham Classic Planters
Iroko offers a warm natural appearance and is particularly well suited to exterior joinery where a hardwood finish is required.
Painted Accoya™ Wadham Classic Planters
Accoya™ provides excellent dimensional stability and is particularly suited to high-quality painted finishes. Colours can be selected to coordinate with windows, doors, exterior joinery or other architectural details.
