Collection: Garden Accessories

Garden Planters, Tools and Accessories
Whether you're putting together a porch full of containers or keeping a few herbs on a windowsill, having the right tools and planters makes the whole process more enjoyable. This collection brings together ceramic and terracotta planters, watering cans, gardening tools, and accessories chosen for the way they look just as much as the way they work. Everything here is designed to feel at home indoors or out.

Planters do a lot of the visual work in a garden, so it's worth thinking about material and scale before you buy. Terracotta is breathable and drains well, which most plants prefer, but it dries out faster than glazed ceramic, so it works best for plants that like to dry between waterings. Glazed ceramic retains moisture longer and holds up better outdoors in varying temperatures. For a cohesive look across a porch or patio, choosing two or three complementary finishes tends to look more intentional than mixing everything at once.

What plants do well in decorative pots?
Nearly any plant can grow in a decorative container as long as it has proper drainage. Herbs, succulents, ferns, and flowering annuals are all natural fits for container gardening. Just make sure the pot has a drainage hole, or add a layer of gravel at the base before planting.

How do I care for terracotta planters over time?
Terracotta is porous, so it will naturally develop a white mineral residue from water and fertilizer over time. A scrub with a stiff brush and a diluted white vinegar solution takes care of most buildup. Bring terracotta indoors during hard freezes, since repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause cracking."
