Greenfingers Wooden Planter Box 60 x 30 x 33cm – Raised Fir Wood Garden Bed for Small Spaces

Greenfingers Wooden Planter Box: A Small Raised Bed With Natural Charm

The Greenfingers 60 x 30 x 33cm Wooden Planter Box brings warm, natural style to a patio, balcony, courtyard, front porch or small garden. Made from fir wood that has been treated with high-temperature carbonisation, it resists cracking and holds its shape over time. Panelled sides and chunky corner posts give it a classic look, and four raised legs lift it off the ground. It's a compact, attractive way to grow herbs, salad greens, strawberries and flowers where space is limited.

Made for Small Spaces

Not every garden has room for a large raised bed. At 60cm long and 30cm wide, this planter box fits neatly on a balcony, beside a front door, along a narrow path or on a courtyard wall. It's easy to move into the sun, and a pair of them either side of an entrance makes a smart, welcoming display.

Carbonised Fir Wood

Carbonisation is a heat treatment that changes the wood's structure, making it more stable and less likely to crack or warp as it goes through wet and dry weather. It also gives the fir a warm, honey-brown colour. The raised legs keep the base off wet ground, patios and decking, helping air flow underneath and reducing moisture damage.

Easier Gardening

Because the planter is raised, you don't need to bend down as far to plant, water and harvest. Growing in a planter also lets you use quality potting mix instead of hard, compacted ground soil, and makes it easier to keep plants away from lawn weeds and ground-dwelling pests.

Is a Wooden Raised Planter Good for Herbs and Vegetables?

Yes. A planter this size is ideal for herbs like basil, parsley, mint, coriander, chives and thyme, plus lettuce, rocket, spinach, spring onions, strawberries and compact cherry tomatoes. It's best suited to shallow-rooted plants rather than long carrots, potatoes or large vegetables. Fill it with a premium potting mix rather than garden soil, which can compact in a container, and water regularly, as small planters dry out faster in hot weather.

What Size Planter Suits a Small Garden?

For balconies, courtyards and small backyards, a planter around 60cm long and 30cm wide is a practical size: big enough for a mini herb garden or a row of salad greens, but small enough to move around and fit in tight spots. Look for a planter that's easy to reach from one side, sits at a comfortable height, and has legs or feet to keep it off wet surfaces.

Tips to Make Your Wooden Planter Last

Line the inside with a plastic planter liner or heavy-duty plastic, leaving drainage holes in the base, so wet soil isn't in constant contact with the timber. Make sure water can drain freely. Place it on a level surface, and apply an outdoor timber oil once or twice a year to keep the wood protected. Don't overload it beyond 30kg, remembering that wet soil is heavy.
