Longwood Garden Planters

(4 customer reviews)

Create a miniature veg or flower garden using our environmentally friendly, all-weather Longwood Planter with wood grain effect.

  • Available in varying lengths – 1200mm &1800mm
  • Frost and rot resistant
  • Handmade in the UK from recycled plastic

Choose the Longwood recycled plastic planter over a timber container and you will not go wrong. Made from recycled plastic that would otherwise be sent to landfill, the planter looks like wood with a superior grain effect finish but lasts longer, is weather-resistant and also encourages better growing conditions.

    What typeface would you like your message to be written in?

    Your message

    What message would you like on your plaque? You can have up to 5 lines of text, but depending on the size of your plaque, more text will mean smaller writing. We will send you a proof of how your plaque look and will work with you to make sure it's just right before manufacturing it.

    You can also add an image to your Plaque (although bear in mind this will reduce the amount or size of your text message) - if you don't have an image in mind, have a look at some examples of images you could choose from our library. Or you can upload your own image as a line drawing, or even just a sketch or photo, we'll convert it into a line drawing that can be engraved onto your plaque.

  • If you're thinking of adding a plaque to your furniture, you can also join our new My Place and Story service. This service adds a QR code alongside your plaque or engraving.  When this code is scanned by a smartphone, it'll take the visitor to a web page that gives more background and history to the person or place the bench is remembering. It's a great way to expand and say more than you can on a plaque, and really tell somebody the full story. Want to know more about how this service works?

    Once you have completed your order, we will be in touch shortly afterwards to help set up your My Space and Story account

Requiring little maintenance, the planter can be left out in all weathers including the harshest of frosts. It even keeps the soil warmer than conventional planters due to the thickness of the plastic used.

The Longwood is perfect for a multitude of locations and comes in various lengths to fit any space. Being made from heavy plastic ensures it is sturdy and can withstand strong winds. From parks, gardens and allotments to holiday parks, village greens, town centres and school gardens, the Longwood Planter is the go-to choice for bringing bursts of seasonal colour to outdoor locations. It is also ideal for seaside promenades and other coastal locations as salt does not cause the plastic to corrode.

The Longwood Planter is suitable for growing a small vegetable garden, adding early spring colour with cheery displays of bulbs, brightening spaces throughout the year with flowers, or planted with box trees to define borders.

    Jane W said,

    I just want to say thank you for a first class service once again. I have just received my small Hopton coffee table and two Derwent chairs from you. They are so well made. I already have a Wirksworth seat and a large Longwood planter. I love them all. When speaking to anyone on the phone they are always friendly, helpful and informative. Thanks to all at TDP.

    Our planters from yourselves have been in for a year now and are looking great. We swapped to your Longwood’s like for like with our old wooden Planters and they’ve worked a treat.

    They really work on the estate and in the area down the end are a great solution to parking as we have added fluorescent strips along the top of the planters.

    Our gardeners have done a great job of planting evergreen hedges in them so they’re looking great throughout the year.

    When we replaced two picnic tables outside Cromford Fish Bar in Derbyshire with TDP Springbanks we added a Longwood planter.

    “They are a vast improvement and look very stylish in black”, said Mr Gould, the owner.

    We had a local gathering to unveil the Dale Benches and Logwood planters which are now installed. Very pleased.
