Handcrafted Christmas
Tuesday, October 19 , 2021
Our finest cast stone is made using hand tools, the same way it has been for seven decades. It takes time to handcraft our stone. If you want to give someone you love one of our garden ornaments this Christmas you need to place you order now. We also have gift vouchers available. Here is some inspiration for some Christmas cheer!
Unique Touches
Our Punk Potters sold out last Christmas. You can style it your way, from flowing ‘locks’ to spiky grasses. Pot these punks whatever way suits your style. You can change the planting every season too, depending on what look you want.
Our Pope’s urn can become a decorative feature as the evenings draw in. Wrap them in outdoor fairy lights to make the most of its curves! This classic urn also looks dramatic covered in twinkling frost on crisp mornings.
More Places to Plant!
If you love gardening you will never have enough planters. Why not invest in a gorgeous urn or planter for an extra special spot in your garden to fill with the plants you love?
Our Hurlingham Bowl is great for creating floral displays each season, with a wide lip to maximise the planting room. It is raised on a pedestal to create a focal point in your garden.
Raised planters and urns can be placed throughout your garden to add pops of colour . Experiment with your space and plants to create interest all year round.
With a feature planter you can use evergreens to great effect, complimenting the stone with a simple ball of greenery.
Don’t forget Indoor Plants
While our planters look great in gardens they also work well for indoor plants. They are perfect for large frost tender plants like Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia), Swiss cheese plants (Monstera deliciosa) or trees like Fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) or Mimosa (Acacia dealbata) etc. You can order our planters without drainage holes so they don’t drip on your flooring, if you prefer. Then you can pop a plastic pot inside it so you can check on root growth making our planters a lasting, feature cover pot. Remember, cast stone is heavy so these are not recommended to sit upstairs on wooden floorboards.
Indulge your passion for houseplants, grouping multiple plants of varying textures and patterns in a statement planter for a gorgeous, indoor jungle feel.
Classic Statues
Every Christmas our animal statues are popular. They add interest to garden spaces, especially when there are fewer flowering plants during the winter months. Our iconic doves can add a romantic feel to benches and pedestals too.
Our classic Talbot dog is a perfect gift for dog lovers. You can bring your pet on a lead with you as you take a look around our show gardens too. Please browse our statue range online here along with our gifts page. We can engrave gifts on request too.
