Enfield, NSW

A landscaper came to us for a wicking planter for his customer in Enfield — a high planter so an older gardener could tend it with no bending, which is exactly what our courtyard planters are made for. Set in a sunny spot, it fills quickly with herbs, salad greens and other quick crops, all at a comfortable standing height.

A waist-height planter is a popular choice around Enfield and the Inner West for keeping keen gardeners growing comfortably as they get older — no stooping, and no heavy watering cans to carry. Because it's a wicking planter, the water sits in a reservoir underneath and travels up to the roots, so it only needs the occasional top-up rather than daily attention, and nothing wilts if a few days slip by.

Fully lined and self-contained, it sits neatly on a courtyard, path or paved area without runoff, which suits the compact gardens common across the Inner West. In Enfield's warm, sheltered position it will keep salad, herbs and easy vegetables coming for much of the year.

We build from kiln-dried, vegetable-grade timber with a food-safe finish, made to last for years and look good doing it. If you or someone you know would garden more easily at a comfortable height in Enfield, Croydon or elsewhere across the Inner West, we'd be glad to help you set up an accessible planter.
