Olde Tyme Shaker Planter

Olde Tyme Shaker Planter
Price: $20.00

stand not included
Our triple tier country style hanging planter provides a versatile structure for showcasing beautiful and colorful displays. Whether each tier is decorated independently or as beautiful cascading tiers of bloom, the stunning effects generated with this planter will add warmth to your home.

This solid wood, hand-cut and hand-stained planter offers something different to that of today's traditional hanging planters. The solid wood structure blends cleanly with all plants for a more natural look. We apply a finish coat of clear water repellent stain to help minimize warping or splitting and to prevent the wood from graying over time.

A triple tiered cascade planter is ideal for trying out foliage combinations to create dramatic displays of vertical color. In addition to providing height to an arrangement, a triple tier design is particularly effective in small spaces. It can be rotated to face more sun light or to give a plant more shade. The rotating action of the planter also makes the deadheading of flowers much easier.

Our planter works outdoors and indoors. You can use this planter in the yard or patio, garden or balcony, or any room in the house. It is versatile enough to work just about anywhere.

This planter supports a variety of pots. We prefer terra-cotta, but plastic or any material that can be safely supported by the lip or sides of the pot will work. The pot should be larger at the top than the bottom, since the pot can either wedge itself into place or support itself by the lip of the pot. It helps make watering easier if the pots have drainage holes in the center of the bottom. The tiers support pots in 4", 6", and 8" diameters. Larger pots can rest on the tier without using the center hole. The tier acts like a shelf when used in this manner.

We call this our Olde Tyme Shaker Planter because these planters convey a sense of tradition that is often associated with the simpler shaker households. They are held together without nails and glue. Instead, the design of the planter securely interlocks everything in place. We hope that you will enjoy the simple pleasure and versatility provided with such a well designed planter.
