PLANTERS Planters are used extensively in landscape design to provide a green lung in courtyards and other enclosed areas. They can incorporate seating, delineate different areas and be used as teaching aids as well as being ornamental. Planters can be lavish products with decorative planting to enhance the school’s appeal, or empty soil-filled containers ready for students to plant their own to learn about what they eat or how things grow. Sensory gardens and ‘grow your own’ areas are becoming increasingly popular as people want to know more about where their food comes from and are more interested in self- sufficiency. We also offer our planting walling system, which can be used instead of retaining walls and customised into various shapes and sections. Planters can be combined with benching or even replace it, with designs to include benches or with a bench top to sit on. Combinations offer a more cost-effective seating solution. 20
