Make the Most of Your Planter:

The Shire Hexagonal Planter—Large offers style and durability, making it a versatile addition to your garden. To maximise its potential, consider designating each section for different types of plants. One section could be transformed into an herb garden haven, where basil, thyme, and rosemary will provide fresh, aromatic herbs for your culinary needs right at your fingertips. Another section could host a colourful flower display, with marigolds, petunias, and pansies adding vibrant hues and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Dedicate a section to succulents and small cacti for a unique texture and low-maintenance option. These plants thrive in sunny spots, bringing an interesting visual element to your planter. Creating a sensory garden can be both soothing and therapeutic. Plant aromatic and tactile plants like lavender, mint, and lamb's ear to engage your senses. Lastly, a pollinator paradise with echinacea, cosmos, and zinnias will attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, promoting a healthy garden ecosystem.

By thoughtfully utilising each section, the Shire Hexagonal Planter - Large can become a dynamic and productive centrepiece in your garden, reflecting your unique gardening style and preferences.

About Your Order:

You will be impressed by Shire's commitment to natural products and their environmental credentials. High-quality garden buildings start with high-quality timber, Shire ensures that only the best materials are used. While pine (Pinus) is often used in garden buildings due to its availability and low cost, Shire opts for high-quality spruce (Picea) sourced from sustainably sourced timber. Spruce is more durable than pine, offering a superior finish.

The slow-grown nature of Scandinavian spruce results in a tighter grain, less sap, and fewer knots compared to fast-grown timber from Britain and Eastern Europe. This makes the timber used in Shire’s products more durable and longer-lasting. Spruce is the preferred choice for companies like Shire, which are dedicated to producing the best garden products.

Shire’s planters not only boast high-quality construction but are also made from ethically sourced materials, ensuring a low-carbon footprint. The practical design allows for straightforward assembly. Each planter has a 10-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty for added peace of mind.

Please note: Images may depict furnishings and accessories; these are for illustration purposes only and are not included with your order. The planter has been stained for decorative purposes, your new planter will be supplied in a natural pressure-treated finish.

Planter Maintenance:

This planter is pressure-treated. Pressure treatment is almost colourless, except for a light green tint caused by the copper content in the preservative. In the course of time, the treatment greys, but this does not affect the quality. This means you do not immediately need to add additional treatment to the planter yourself.

However, many customers like to personalise their planter by adding an exterior wood treatment which also adds additional protection to the timber and a splash of colour. This is also a great way to refresh the look of your planter over time.
