Fibreclay has the look and feels like substantial outdoor pots. However, each piece of Fibreclay is made using an innovative, lightweight manufacturing process.
I had a problem with the initial delivery of two of these gorgeous planters, but the incredibly gracious and efficient customer service more than resolved the issue, and I am so pleased to have sprung for these aesthetically interesting planters that have the look of the best lead/zinc British planters without the weight and expense. I have experience of planters at both ends of the spectrum, aesthetically and price-wise, and I can say that these certainly exceed my expectations for frost-hardy planters with a timeless elegance. The practical considerations of growing small trees, perennials, and some edibles on a windy Manhattan terrace not far from the park - home to elusive hummingbirds I still like to think might be drawn to the right plants in the right container - oh, well, perhaps the birds aren't nearly so picky about the planters they land on as I am, but you get the idea. These are the planters I wanted but couldn't afford the weight of - and shipping costs from England - so while these aren't as light as the plastic versions that don't have the heft in any useful regard, they are wonderful and have a solid presence that is unpretentious and just perfect for my needs. I may tone down the grey of one of the planters to bring it into a darker mode, but that's easily done and I think all gardeners would would find these a neutral but elegant way to grow their gardens..
