Description
FREE SHIPPING — Set of Two. Because one is never enough.
The Planter Box That Makes Your Whole Yard Look Better. Instantly.
You know those front porches that just look right? Flanked with beautiful wooden planters, something blooming, everything intentional? That’s what these do. Drop them by your front door, line your steps, anchor your patio — wherever they land, people notice.
Built from imported New Zealand spruce with an open bottom that works with grow bags, nursery pots, or direct planting. Pretty enough for the front porch. Tough enough for everything Mother Nature throws at it.
You get two. That’s the whole point.
Why These Beat Everything Else at the Garden Center
The wood actually looks like wood. Premium New Zealand spruce brings real warmth and character that plastic pots and cheap composites can’t fake. The natural grain, the honey tones, the solid corners — these planters look intentional because they are.
No bottom. No limits. The open bottom means you can plant directly into the ground for deep-rooting vegetables, drop in a grow bag for easy seasonal swaps, or set a nursery pot inside and change out what’s blooming whenever you feel like it. Want tulips in spring, herbs in summer, and mums in fall? Done. Pull it out and replant in minutes. No digging. No drama.
Light enough to actually move. You shouldn’t need a forklift to reposition your garden. These boxes are light enough to pick up and move solo — chase the sun, rearrange for a party, bring them in before a frost. Easy.
Assembly that doesn’t ruin your afternoon. Everything you need is in the box — hardware, tools, instructions that actually make sense. Most people are done and planting within the hour.
Built for the outdoors, built to last. Rain, sun, humidity — these handle it all without warping, cracking, or fading into something sad. A light re-oiling every season or two and they’ll look great for years.

What Can You Grow in These?
Pretty much anything that fits and likes good drainage. Some favorites:
- Herbs — basil, rosemary, mint, thyme right outside the kitchen door
- Flowers — marigolds, petunias, lavender, dahlias
- Vegetables — tomatoes, peppers, dwarf kale
- Ornamentals — grasses, small shrubs, boxwoods
- Edibles — garlic, green onions, lettuce, spinach
Pro move: Use a grow bag inside for herbs and veggies so you can swap plantings every season without disturbing the box. Works like a charm.
A Note on Soil from Uncle Jim
Whatever you’re growing, give it a serious leg up by mixing some worm castings into your soil before you plant. Worm castings are richer in nitrogen, phosphates, and potash than regular soil — and they’re 100% natural. Your plants will absolutely take off. We sell them right here on the site.
This Is the Move If You…
- Want your front door to finally look the way you’ve been picturing it
- Love the idea of swapping out seasonal plants without any digging
- Want real wood that actually holds up outside
- Are looking for a gift for the gardener who has everything
- Have a patio, deck, or entryway that needs an anchor
What People Are Saying
“Bought two for either side of my front steps. They look incredible — way nicer than anything I found at the big box stores. Assembly took maybe 45 minutes.” — Patricia W., North Carolina
“I use mine with grow bags and swap out the plants every season. Spring tulips, summer herbs, fall mums. My neighbors think I hire a landscaper.” — Mike B., Oregon
“The wood quality is really impressive for the price. Solid, heavy feel without actually being heavy. Very happy with this purchase.” — Theresa H., Pennsylvania
Questions People Ask
Do I need a liner or grow bag?
Nope — totally up to you. The open bottom lets you plant directly into the ground, drop in a grow bag, or set a nursery pot inside. All three work great depending on what you’re growing.
Is the wood safe for vegetables and herbs?
Yes. The finish is non-toxic and completely safe for edible plants.
How does it hold up in rain and cold?
Really well. We recommend a light re-oiling every season or two to keep it looking its best, but it’s built for outdoor life.
Can I add worms to the soil inside?
100% yes — and honestly we’d encourage it. European Nightcrawlers thrive in planter environments and produce rich castings that do incredible things for your soil naturally. Check out our live worms right here on the site.
Do I really need two?
We’re not going to tell you that you have to. But yes. You absolutely do.
It ships free. It goes up in an hour. And it’s going to make whatever corner of your yard it lands in look significantly better.
