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.
