People buy garden planters for all sorts of reasons. Garden planters are incredibly versatile and enable you to grow plants in all sorts of locations. You could use your planters to grow plants in environments such as patios, on balconies, on rooftops, on terraces, on the deck of a boat or indoors providing the space receives adequate light.
Take the fuss and strain out of gardening
Perhaps it’s not possible to grow certain plants in your existing garden soil? If so, a garden planter may well be the perfect solution. Planters also help you grow plants in close proximity to each other even when they have different soil requirements. You don’t have to worry about weeding when you use garden planters, and you don’t have to transport heavy tools and equipment across your garden.

Ideal for those with mobility challenges
Another reason why garden plants are so popular is that they allow elderly people and those living with mobility problems to get involved in gardening and create a great-looking, colourful spectacle that they can be proud of. Once you are finished with one plant, it’s easy to replace it with another. You can also move your plants around frequently whenever your mood changes. You can transport them around your house whenever you like and can even take your plants with you if you move homes.
Suitable for various environments
Garden planters are also great for people with limited outdoor space. If you only have a small backyard, you can easily add colour and warmth to it by using garden planters. Planters are a great match for all sorts of environments, including patios, steps, window sills and more. You also have greater control over the soil you are using when you opt for a planter. This is why those with inferior garden soil regularly opt for garden planters. There are so many designs and styles to choose from too, which means you shouldn’t struggle to find the right kind of garden planter for your needs regardless of what your specific requirements are.

If you have problems with your back, you can use garden planters to make activities like watering and feeding much less arduous. Fruit and vegetables that you can grow in garden planters include strawberries, potatoes, carrots and radishes. Once your produce is ready for harvesting, simply tip the pots upside down and shake off the soil.
