Terracotta Strawberry Planter

Garden Centre > Outdoor Living > Garden Planters

This generous and sturdy terracotta planter has specifically been designed for growing strawberries. The intention is to keep the ripening fruits off the ground and improve the air circulation around them, which will help prevent pests and diseases getting to the strawberries before you can. It has six 'planting pockets' around the side and has a wide neck, so you could comfortably fit another five plants up top and it would also be ideal for planting a small collection of herbs. Dimensions: 60cm high x 45cm diameter Terracotta Pot Size Guide We thin k these classic, unfussy designs work best in an English garden. Although the in spiration came from Tuscany, the pots have been made in Turkey. They are hand th rown (sometimes from 2 pieces of clay for the larger pots) by Argon and his son who are the 3rd and 4th generation of potters from the Izmir region on the Aege an coast. The clay from this area ages to a lovely patina, as the salts slowly l each to the surface. Each pot is fired to 1080 degrees C (to make it as frost proof as possible) and has an extra large drainage hole in the base.
