Amberol takes great pride in its heritage and in helping others to maintain and develop their own, whether outside civic buildings, the market square of a historic town or the picturesque village green. Our Heritage planter range is designed to enhance your environment with looks and styles that reflect the history and ambiance of their surroundings.
Our Heritage range of self-watering planters are ideal for historic towns and villages
The advantages of Amberol’s heritage planter range:
Incredible realism - authenticity underpins our Heritage range with our Barrels moulded from genuine whisky barrels and our stone trough from an original 200 year old granite water trough. Combine this with our granite, stone and wooden colour options and our products appear incredibly natural and authentic.
Our products grow old graciously - whilst reflecting history and age within our Heritage range, one of their key benefits is that they are brand new. Produced using a hardwearing polyethylene, our planted barrels are splinter free, don’t rot or rust, maintain their colour and don’t leave any mess.
A mark of quality - Our easy-to-use planters are made in Britain and built to last, with a hardwearing design that is virtually maintenance free. By working to the BSI ISO9001 quality management standard we’ve maintained an efficient process from the design of our products through to manufacture and sales.

Heritage hanging baskets
Our new Heritage range includes two unique hanging baskets, the Imperial and our new Wicker Hanging Basket. The Imperial Hanging Basket has a classic look and comes available in a variety of stone colours. Our Wicker Hanging Baskets are designed to resemble a traditional wicker basket but with the added advantage of a hard-wearing material and our unique self-watering system - Aquafeed.

Stone-effect planters
We have long admired stone containers for their beauty and durability – and so we decided to make our own version. The design team at Amberol went to great lengths to create a container that looks just like the real thing – even though it’s actually made from recyclable polyethylene. We scoured the country for examples of real undamaged stone troughs to produce a suitable mould from, eventually finding one in a reclaim yard in Yorkshire and shipping it a hundred miles to our factory!
