Containers to suit all Raised garden tables

Garden tables are ideal for comfort-level gardening. Some are equipped with a cover to provide a
greenhouse environment for seedlings, to shelter plants on cold nights, or to provide protection during
plants and every decor stormy weather and high winds. An interlocking design will enable you to adapt your raised garden to the

space you have available on the deck or balcony. Wicking beds are self-contained raised beds with built-in
water reservoirs; you can both water efficiently and evacuate the overflow.

Do you have a balcony, deck, or plain flowerbed? Then you have a vegetable garden! The
idea behind urban gardens is to grow what you can in your available space, both vertically
and horizontally. Hanging planters, balcony boxes, containers, grow bags, raised beds;
they’re all good for growing fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs, bringing unbelievable
freshness directly to your dinner plate. Delicious varieties specifically adapted to
container-growing are waiting for you to discover!

Planting bags

Ground-breaking (literally) geotextile planting bags promote
healthy root development. Designed to allow plants to
“breathe” better, grow bags promote good drainage and
aeration. Compared to traditional pots, you can see a 15% to
20% increase in harvest yields, which is significant! Here are
some other reasons to love these bags:

• Made of 100% recycled materials, such as plastic bottles
• Durable, tear-proof, UV-resistant, washable and reusable

• Compact and easy to store
• Available in several sizes, shapes and colours

In response to their growing popularity, designers have
created more use-specific products, such as the bag for
growing potatoes with a Velcro opening on the bottom;
a vertical wall planter with pockets for herbs; and the
strawberry grow bag with side pockets.
