Put an Amberol self-watering planter on your Christmas shopping list

At Amberol we believe that plants and flowers do much to enhance our lives and wellbeing. Not only do they bring a sense of beauty and colour to a location, but the act of growing something green can also be immensely rewarding.

However, we aren’t all fortunate enough to have access to a large garden or to be blessed with ‘green fingers’ - which is when Amberol’s self-watering planters can help, as they make it easier to grow a range of plants successfully.

Amberol’s online shop

After decades of dealing mainly with councils, Britain in Bloom groups and other organisations, in response to rising demand, we decided to set up an online shop to make it easier for individuals and non-commercial customers to buy our self-watering planters. This enabled the general public to purchase smaller orders of our most popular products more easily.

Now, as the season of festive shopping builds momentum, it seems the perfect time to remind people that an Amberol planter makes a great gift – even for the non-gardener. Why? Because our self-watering planters enable flowers, shrubs and even small trees to access water and nutrients as and when needed, creating the optimal conditions for growth. Plus, because of the drainage holes in each container, plants are unlikely to become waterlogged in the wetter months.

Items available on the site include:

• Cup and saucer hanging baskets
• Stone effect troughs
• Wood effect barrels
• A range of barrier baskets and window boxes

Hanging baskets are notoriously difficult to keep well-watered so the cup and saucer baskets make it easier to grow plants successfully, while the barrier and window baskets make gardening accessible to almost anyone with a small outside space. Authentically modelled on original containers, the stone troughs and barrels are part of Amberol’s Heritage range and help bring a touch of class to any location.

How Amberol’s self-watering planters work

Amberol planters have a built-in water reservoir under the soil with a unique Aquafeed™ matting which enables the even dispersal of water via a series of capillaries to plants and foliage as required, ensuring optimal conditions for growth.

Five reasons to purchase Amberol self-watering planters

• They create ideal growing conditions, so are perfect for both experienced and less experienced gardeners
• The water reservoir and matting feature reduces the time spent watering
• Every planter has double walled insulation, keeping the compost cool in the summer and warmer in the winter
• All planters are made from recycled or recyclable polyethylene
• There are a wide variety of styles including realistic wood effect barrels modelled on Hogshead whisky barrels

In fact, Amberol planters make it easier for anyone to grow something green almost anywhere.

Customers can purchase up to five of any item listed on the online shop. All prices are inclusive of VAT, so customers know exactly what they will be paying. Shipping, which is to the UK only, is calculated at checkout because this varies depending on the size of the planter, order and location.
