Black Chippendale Planter

A porch step looks finished the minute a flowerpot sits inside a proper square box. The open Chippendale pattern shows through on four sides, while the black plastic stands up to wet grass and muddy hose water. We keep this classic style in the Miles Kimball pages because it lasts for seasons.

Traditional open fretwork

The geometric Chippendale lattice dresses up an ordinary nursery pot. Light passes through the pattern, giving the front steps a tailored look without the weight of heavy painted wood.

Snaps together quickly

The four side panels lock together by hand, so nobody has to hunt for a screwdriver in the garage. When spring planting is done, it comes apart flat for storage on a shelf.

Built for wet soil

Thick polypropylene walls will not rot, peel, or splinter when the garden hose runs over them. A quick spray from the nozzle washes off potting soil and dried grass clippings.

Clever bottom insert

The base insert lets excess watering run out underneath while letting fresh air reach the roots below. Potted geraniums or small topiary greens sit level inside without water pooling at the base.
