Product Details

Made in Canada from sustainably sourced Canadian Spruce, this sturdy, back-saving elevated planter is fitted with four powder-coated aluminum legs that resist rust, casters to allow for easy rolling (two with locks to secure the planter in place), and a 6-gallon self-watering irrigation system that provides steady hydration while reducing the time you spend holding the hose. The planter is designed for a favorite collection of smaller vegetable, herb and flower plants. Its height makes tending and harvesting easy while doing double duty as an obstacle to foraging critters. Please use a proper soil mix made for containers when filling the raised bed, we recommend our Organic Mechanics® Container Blend Potting Soil (55884).

Shipping Info

We want our customers to receive strong, healthy plants that are ready to thrive in their gardens and homes. Here's what we'd like you to know about our shipping practices.

Delivery Timing

We aim to deliver your plants at as close to the proper time for planting in your area as possible. To do so, we consider the USDA Hardiness Zone to which we're shipping, current and forecasted weather at the destination and along the shipping route, and whether your plants are ready for transplant.

In spring, we ship first to the warmest regions and move north as planting conditions improve. For fall deliveries, we begin with the coolest regions and work south. We frequently adjust shipping schedules when extreme weather could put plants at risk while in transit or soon after arrival.

Because different plants reach readiness at different rates and are weather-sensitive in varying degree, a single order may be delivered via multiple shipments. Plants sold as part of a collection, or that are otherwise meant to arrive together, will be shipped together. Please contact our customer service team with two weeks' advance notice if you anticipate being away at the expected time of delivery.

Tracking information for each package is delivered via email.

Plant & Container Sizes

We deliver plants in various sizes and stages of growth, and the product detail pages of our website indicate the form and/or pot size in which the plant will be delivered. Pot sizes range from 1 pint to 1 gallon and larger. Many perennials, roses, shrubs and vines are delivered bareroot - that is, not in a container at all. Bulbs and tubers are generally delivered bareroot and fully dormant. We choose container sizes and delivery methods based on how each plant grows best, how we can minimize transplant shock, and how to minimize unnecessary bulk/weight in shipment.

Caring for Your Plants Upon Arrival

It is important to acclimate greenhouse-grown plants to life outdoors. All plant shipments include simple instructions for handling your plants upon arrival. Further how-to information, including planting instructions, is available on each plant's product page.

Poorly designed; hoping for resolution with customer service

"We bought this planter in 2021, and I was so pleased with it for the first season. The "bobber" that indicates the water level was not always reliable, but overall, the container worked great and we grew beautiful herbs, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I was looking forward to more of the same in 2022, and for most of the season it worked well; however, by the end of the season I noticed that the bottom of the water reservoir was beginning to sag in one corner. I became much more cautious about watering it, not wanting to put too much strain on it. Unfortunately, after a very heavy rainfall, the extra water weight caused the bottom of the planter box to collapse completely. Everything that was supposed to be contained within the frame of the planter box fell through to my deck, and it was a huge mess to clean up. I'm quick to assume user error, so at the beginning of the season this year, I very carefully re-assembled the planter. The water reservoir was still not perfectly square - that one corner was still a little droopy - but I hoped it would hold. I planted spinach and lettuce and barely used the "self-watering" feature at all, since I was so worried that the design of the planter would not be able to support the water weight. Sure enough, we have another really heavy storm tonight, and once again the bottom has fallen out. I'll have another big mess to clean up tomorrow - and now I know this is not user error. This planter box looks great, but it is badly designed. The water reservoir and planter itself rest on very narrow metal rails inside the wooden frame, and these do not provide adequate structural support for the combined weight of the water reservoir, the soil, and the plants. If you accidentally overwater or if you have a heavy rainfall, the whole thing will collapse. I'm going to connect with customer service to see what can be done. In the meantime, buyer beware!"

A worthwhile investment

"I hesitated a bit before buying this planter because of the cost, but it's proved to be an excellent investment. The vegetables we've grown in it--spinach, lettuce, and green beans--have thrived. The soil stays moist by pouring water into the funnel every four or five days, so there's no need for overhead watering. I love the fact that it can be easily moved; I move it around as the sun exposure on our partially shaded patio changes from one week to the next. And the height is ideal for stand-up gardening. The fact that it's good-looking is an additional plus! Finally, bonus points for the manufacturer: When we found that a small end-cap piece was missing, they responded promptly to our e-mail inquiry and shipped a replacement at no charge."

Solid and well built container

"This is a very well built container and looks great on the deck. Currently used for vegetables (cherry tomatoes, peppers, and herbs with a touch of marigolds for pest control.) Has a very nice planting depth. Used about 6 bags (20qt each) of potting mix to fill. Easy to roll. Was challenging to assemble - took two of us to align the boards and put in the screws. The finishing corner caps don't stay on very well. Otherwise a very nice looking, solidly made container. I expect it to last quite a few years."
