A Rustic Garden Blog

We are excited here at A Rustic Garden. Our new container of metal flower pots will arrive here in middle IL in a couple weeks. The phone is ringing every day with inquiries about our inventory on our web site.

Soon we will offer even more great cast iron urns for your home and garden.

A Rustic Garden has tiny cast iron urns as well as large garden planters. The tow motor is the only way to move some of our big ones. They will probably find a home someday at a city part.

Most of us plant our flowers in a container that we can move without heavy machinery.

It is definitely the season for planting flowers all over the United States. The phone calls keep coming in at A Rustic Garden requesting information about our most classic flower pots, the cast iron urns. These planters add so much character to your landscaping projects. Many decorators also use them as accent pieces inside the home.

The indestructible metal flower containers will last for ever unless someone steals them. It is sad but every year we have a few purchased from us to replace vessels that thieves swipe right out of their yards. No one will be taking this huge angle urn planter since it weighs 1500 lbs.

Cast Iron urns have always been the garden planter of choice. Probably because of their traditional design but you can not look at these garden flower pots and not wonder if it is 100 years old or 3 years old. They will last for ever so the investment is a very good reason to choose a pair to add stature to your homes front door or a pair at your driveway to welcome guests.

There are so many sizes, styles and colors that finding the right cast iron urn planter for your landscape  will be easy at  A Rustic Garden.

In many parts of the United States the weather will soon warm up. Selecting just the right garden container to plant your colorful annuals can be confusing. Steve Griggs, ASLA Landscape Artistry Specialists created this stunning floral scene.

Cast iron urns will last for generations without the weather deteriorating them. Their look has been modeled after antique examples from the late 1800’s. Functionality is also important so choose a garden planter that has plenty of depth to add rich potting soil. Maybe the most important thing is to make sure the vessel has a drain hole. Your plant’s roots need oxygen to survive so draining the water is very important. Your flowers and their roots will love you for it.
