Our planters have been designed to produce bumper harvests by keeping plants perfectly fed and watered at all times. Expertly designed and extensively tested by our horticulturalists and made in England to last.

Our tomato and tall plant planters, chilli planters, salad planters and herb planters help you to get bigger harvests. With our planters your plants will have access to water whenever they need it, but the roots are never stood in water, so access to oxygen is never limited. Your vegetable plants (from aubergines, beans and chillies to squash, tomatoes and zucchini) are kept perfectly fed and watered for several days at a times in these planters so they produce bumper harvests. Our Saladgrow for salads and Herbgrow for herbs are ideal planters for growing in small spaces and for growing salads and herbs all year round.

For grow your own gardeners growing vegetables, herbs and salads on a patio, greenhouse or polytunnel our best-selling Quadgrow planter is ideal. Described by Garden Answers as “The answer to most gardeners’ prayers”, the Quadgrow planter is the perfect replacement for traditional tomato pots and grow bags as it produces 2x bigger harvests and holiday-proofs your plants.
