The Willowstone Legacy

This pair of premium squirrel motif planters carry authentic Willowstone name plaques hidden discreetly at the bottom. But who is Willowstone?

Established as a foremost supplier of composite stone garden features, Willowstone is renowned for exceptional British craftsmanship. Consequently, their name guarantees casting precision and lasting structural integrity.

Why Choose Composite Stone?

Historically, composite stone emerged in the 18th century as a clever alternative to increasingly scarce natural stone. Artisans mix stone aggregate with cement to cast highly detailed designs. Today, this material remains incredibly popular for several reasons:

• Superior Durability: It resists harsh winter frosts without cracking. Indeed, these squirrel motif planters have decades of life remaining.

• Authentic Texture: The material mimics natural stone perfectly at a fraction of the weight.

• Beautiful Ageing: It rapidly acquires a natural, weathered patina.

Moreover, using reclaimed pieces, like this pair of squirrel motif planters, is highly sustainable. Indeed, materials reclamation reduces environmental manufacturing footprints. Additionally, these pieces offer instant, mature character that new garden items simply cannot match.

This particular pair shows gorgeous signs of prior use. You will notice mild environmental discolouration, minor lichen, and traces of past soil. Consequently, they blend seamlessly into mature gardens.

Perfect Proportions

Measuring 33cm square and 33cm high, this pair of squirrel motif planters offer a subtle, versatile size. Therefore, they will never overpower your plants or dominate your garden patio.

Furthermore, a built-in drainage hole at the base guarantees healthy, well-irrigated roots.

How to Fill Your Planters for Success

To ensure your plants thrive, follow this simple preparation method:

1. Add Drainage: Place a layer of gravel or broken terracotta pots (crocks) over the drainage hole. Moreover, ensure the gravel is large enough to drain freely.

2. Prevent Clogging: Lay a small piece of permeable landscape fabric over the crocks. Additionally, lift the pot off the ground with small spacers. This has the additional benefit of reducing ant infestation.

3. Add Soil: Fill the remaining space with any high-quality, free-draining compost mix. However, we recommend Growmoor Multi Purpose Compost and Graded Topsoil.

4. Plant and Water: Gently bed your chosen plants and water them thoroughly. Furthermore, ensure your chosen plant is in the right situation- full sun, partial sun or shade.

Three Creative Ways to Style Your Squirrel Motif Planters

• Brighten Patio Corners: Pack them with vibrant bedding plants to draw the eye. Indeed, this is a popular method of softening hard transitions from patio to lawn or border.

• Frame a Pathway: Use neat dwarf conifers to mark a garden entrance beautifully.

• Design a Potscape: Use them to anchor a collection of terracotta pots filled with soft, tall grasses.

Ultimately, this pair of squirrel motif planters offers the perfect blend of character, heritage, and practical design. Grab them today to add instant personality to your outdoor space.
