Environmentally Friendly

Something as simple as a flowerpot may not seem like a force for change, add a self-watering reservoir to that pot, and you’ve got a whole new game, an environmentally friendly planter!


Self-watering (or sub-irrigated, as they’re also known) planters reduce water consumption by up to 80%, when compared with similar planters that are watered manually and do not have a reservoir.

That’s a nice savings for anyone, but the real impact comes when that 80% is multiplied by the large number of planters used by cities, park systems and developers. Used on a large scale, self-watering planting containers save thousands of gallons of water per year. This is the main advantage of the environmentally friendly and beautifully design Desert Planters.

Self-Watering Planters work with a variety of plant life.
