Wood-Look Barrel Planters

Spring planting goes faster when the pots are light enough to carry around the yard. These round planters look like heavy wooden casks from the sidewalk, but they are molded from weather-hardy plastic that handles spring rain and summer sun without rotting out. They give petunias, kitchen herbs and patio tomatoes plenty of room to settle in.

Weather-hardy plastic material

Tough molded plastic takes the sun and spring downpours without splintering, peeling or drying out like natural timber does. It rinses clean with the garden hose when the season ends.

Built-in drainage holes

Water drains right through the bottom holes so garden soil stays fresh after a hard rain. Plant roots get the air they need instead of sitting in standing water on the deck.

Matching set for yards

Group the set together by the back patio door or split them up along the walkway. One makes a fine gift for a neighbor who likes to keep fresh herbs right outside the kitchen.

Deep round shape

The wide, rounded basin holds plenty of potting soil for trailing flowers, leafy greens or patio vegetables. Plants have room to spread out as the weather warms up.
