Big planters are a boon to residential and commercial landscaping. They’re dramatic, adaptable, and capable of turning even the dullest space into a green, thriving oasis. At Sutton Manor Nursery, our line of Big Planters is intended to fit all environments from city balconies to rural gardens and high-end corporate storefronts.
One of the most important advantages of big planters is that they can organize a space. In garden spaces, they can be employed to divide up areas, direct movement, or provide height and scale. In small areas, like patios or balconies, they enable you to plant larger plants — such as small trees or thick shrubs — that would otherwise be restricted by space limitations.
They’re particularly great for privacy planting. Rather than putting up a permanent fence, try using tall planters with quick-growing plants such as bamboo or grasses. This provides a natural screen that is pleasing to the eye and can be moved or re-arranged as necessary.
In business environments, large planters are an astute investment. On the sidewalks outside offices, restaurants, or retail outlets, they add a sophisticated appearance and break up cold architectural lines. Properly employed, they can direct customers, define entrances, and enhance the experience from the moment one sets foot outside.
If weight is a concern particularly on balconies or roof gardens — use lightweight materials such as fibreglass or polyresin. These are long-lasting, fashionable, and much easier to shift or reposition if necessary.
Drainage is also a consideration. Waterlogged soil and disgruntled roots can result from inadequate drainage. That’s why all our large planters have built-in or easy-to-fit drainage facilities, keeping your plants healthy all year round.
As you select your large planters, consider the look. Clean lines and minimalist styles are appropriate in modern environments, whereas country-inspired finishes are a better fit in natural, countryside-style gardens. Oversized ornamental planters in bold textures or colors also can be a solo statement feature in otherwise empty spaces.
Our clients frequently ask for large containers for trees like Japanese maple, bay laurel, and citrus ornamental. These plants require the depth and width that only large planters can offer — and the strength to support wind and weather.
