Forest Kitchen Garden Planter - 1m
Create your own productive kitchen garden with the Forest Kitchen Garden Planter - 1m, a practical and attractive raised planter designed for growing fresh herbs, salads, vegetables, or colourful flowers. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for patios, balconies, smaller gardens, or positioning conveniently close to your back door, so fresh ingredients are always within easy reach.
Raised to a comfortable working height of approximately 70cm, this planter reduces the need for bending while making planting, watering and harvesting much easier. With an internal planting area measuring 85cm long, 55cm wide and 29cm deep, there's plenty of room to grow herbs such as parsley, thyme, sage and chives, along with salad crops like lettuce and rocket. It's also a fantastic choice for creating a decorative floral display. If you're growing mint, it's recommended to keep it in a separate pot to prevent it from spreading throughout the planter.
Strong Pressure Treated Timber Construction
Manufactured in the UK from FSC® certified timber and other responsibly sourced materials, this planter is built to provide years of reliable outdoor use. The timber has been pressure treated for long-lasting protection against rot and is backed by a 15 Year Anti-Rot Guarantee, giving you confidence that it will remain a feature of your garden for many seasons.
The planter holds approximately 130 litres of compost, providing generous growing space while maintaining a compact overall size that's suitable for gardens where space is limited.
Quick & Easy Self-Assembly
The Forest Kitchen Garden Planter has been designed for straightforward assembly using the supplied screws and clear instructions. Only a few fixings are required to complete the build, allowing you to have your planter ready for use in no time.
For growing fruit, vegetables or herbs, Forest recommends lining the planter with a breathable membrane before filling with compost. This helps improve durability while creating an ideal growing environment for edible crops.
