Barrier Planters

Now that I am briefly quite on top of my workload, the blog posts are coming thick and fast!

I am going through photos of new contracts I've taken but not yet had time to file in our picture library. These date from last December, which shows how long our busy patch has been, and show something we sell more and more of: barrier planters.

Barriers are like normal troughs, but taller than they are wide, usually at least 60-70cm high.

These were installed in an office in Chandlers Ford, and are 2m long, so long we could only get them in the lift empty and on one end. Installing six of them was a full day, for sure!

They are almost invariably planted up with just a line of the same thing, in this case Dracaena Lemon Limes (nicely matching the desk dividers in the office there). They are made completely to order, so can be had in any colour, and crucially in any size you require.

They are more expensive to rent of course than a normal specimen in a pot - these are £38.00 a month each including our maintenance service - but then you get an awful lot more for your money.
