A modern version of a traditional favourite, the VegTrug? Wooden Barrel Planter has a burnt oak finish and is perfect for cottage gardens, patio areas and near door entrances. The base of this attractive planter is made from plastic to prevent it from rotting and allows for good drainage and maximum aeration to the roots.The sides are made from natural FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) wood that complements the plants in the container, giving a very natural look. The barrel planters are robust and sturdy; the metal bands which surround the wooden frame are firmly screwed to the wood for added strength. The VegTrug? Wooden barrels look superb planted with annuals, perennials or small ornamental trees such as olive or bay.
