Tiered Planters

Tiered planters turn a single spot in the garden into two or three growing levels. Each stepped tier gets its own planting depth and its own share of the light, so you can raise herbs, salad leaves, bedding plants and trailing flowers together in one wooden unit.

The stepped design is particularly good for small gardens, patios and balconies, where growing upwards means more plants without giving up more floor space. Trailing varieties spill attractively over the front edges while taller plants take the back row.

Choose from two and three tier wooden planters in a range of widths to suit your space, then fill each level with whatever your garden is missing.

Choosing the right garden storage for your space

Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.

Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.

Common questions

Before you buy Tiered Planters.

Why choose a tiered planter for a small garden?

The stepped design is particularly good for small gardens, patios and balconies, where growing upwards means more plants without giving up more floor space. A tiered planter turns a single spot into two or three growing levels, so a compact corner can hold far more than a flat pot of the same footprint would allow.

What can I plant across the different tiers?

Each stepped tier gets its own planting depth and its own share of the light, so you can raise herbs, salad leaves, bedding plants and trailing flowers together in one wooden unit. Trailing varieties spill attractively over the front edges while taller plants take the back row, letting one planter carry a real mix of growing all at once.

How many tiers should I choose?

Choose from two and three tier wooden planters in a range of widths to suit your space. A two-tier unit fits a tighter spot or a smaller planting scheme, while a three-tier gives more levels and more capacity. Match the number of tiers and the width to the room you have and how much you want to grow.

Do taller plants shade out the lower tiers?

The stepped design helps here, because each tier gets its own share of the light rather than sitting directly beneath the one above. Putting taller plants in the back row and trailing or lower-growing varieties at the front keeps sun reaching every level, so plants on the lower tiers are not left in constant shade.

What material are tiered planters made from?

These are solid wooden units, with each stepped tier built to give its own planting depth. Timber suits a patio or balcony setting and holds its shape when filled across several levels. As with any outdoor wooden planter, an occasional treatment and clear drainage help the timber last through the seasons of growing and watering.
