02 · Best ready-assembled wooden planter

Rowlinson Marberry Square Planter

A pre-assembled 62-litre planter with a liner included.

The Marberry has the same stated 62-litre capacity as the Rowlinson Square Planter, but arrives assembled and includes a liner. It measures 50 × 50 × 39 cm and weighs 20 kg. Its lower shape and rounded corners make it a different fit from the taller cube, though its £95 price is higher.

The 40 × 40 cm base takes up little floor space, while the attached diamond trellis brings the total height to 140 cm. The planter holds approximately 34 litres and weighs 10 kg. It comes as a self-assembly kit and has a 10-year anti-rot warranty.

04 · Best roomy square planter

Zest Holywell Large Planter

A 148-litre planter with a 60 cm square footprint.

The Holywell gives you more growing volume than the 62-litre Rowlinson models while staying below £100. It measures 60 × 60 × 65 cm, arrives pre-assembled and weighs 20 kg before filling. The 12 mm tongue-and-groove boards have 45 mm framing, and the timber is pressure treated.

05 · Best low-cost raised bed

Forest Caledonian Small Raised Bed 3' x 3'

A simple 90 cm square bed for a compact growing area.

The Caledonian Small Raised Bed costs £29.99 and measures 90 × 90 cm, with 14 cm sides made from 40 mm FSC-certified timber. Half-lap joints form the corners, and assembly uses four screws. Its 15-year anti-rot warranty is unusually long for a low-cost bed, though the shallow sides suit surface-rooted crops better than deep-rooted planting.

This Caledonian bed measures 131 × 131 × 28 cm and is shaped to sit across a garden corner. Its 28 cm planting depth and stated capacity of up to 500 litres give more room than the smaller 90 cm bed. It is pressure-treated timber with a 15-year anti-rot warranty.

This 40 cm Ecopots planter weighs 3.6 kg and holds 27 litres. It is made from recycled plastic, has a hand-finished conical shape and includes a removable drainage plug. The retailer describes it as UV- and weather-resistant, making it the lightest moveable patio pot here.

08 · Best for kitchen herbs

Gardenesque Kitchen Herbs Glazed Tiered Planter 27 cm

A small glazed tiered planter for herbs and compact plants.

At 27 cm wide and 25 cm high, this earthen-clay planter is the smallest choice in the group. Its glazed finish creates a tiered growing area for herbs and small plants, with a built-in drainage hole. It is described as frostproof, though its compact size is aimed at small planting rather than a larger crop.
