URBAN PLANTER BOXES

When dealing with limited urban space, tall and narrow planter boxes designed specifically for corners are an excellent solution to add greenery without sacrificing floor area. These planters utilize vertical space efficiently, making them perfect for balconies, patios, or tight apartment corners. For optimal results, look for materials that suit your environment. Fiberstone and fiberclay offer a lightweight yet durable option with good weather resistance, while metal planters, like those made from corten steel, provide a modern industrial look but may require drainage holes to be added. Wood planters bring natural warmth but need lining to prevent rot. When selecting a planter, ensure it has adequate drainage to keep plant roots healthy. For a cohesive look, consider a matching set of two or three planters of varying heights to create a tiered effect in the corner. For plant choices, opt for species that thrive in confined spaces and have vertical growth habits. Dwarf citrus trees, tall ornamental grasses like Karl Foerster feather reed grass, or a climbing vine such as jasmine or clematis (with a small trellis) are all fantastic options. This approach not only beautifies your urban corner but also creates a striking vertical garden feature.
