Gardens are spaces of joy. For most people, it’s a place for relaxation. Garden-lovers usually find new things to add, just to update and upgrade. Some excellent additions include a pergola, a bench, or cute planters – all depending on the budget, of course.
Simple and sleek, this circular planter makes a distinct urban statement on a patio or garden terrace. Ideal for shallow rooted plants, or artificial botanicals, the profile of this piece makes it ideal for indoor decorating.
