Sustainable wooden whisky barrel – the perfect garden planter

The pandemic has dramatically changed our lives and behaviour and hopefully one positive that is here to stay is the impact on the environment and nature. Carbon footprints have been noticeably reduced and our wildlife has flourished. Hopefully we have all taken more time to appreciate the natural beauty around us and want to work hard to maintain and support it.

As it is National Love A Tree Day on 16th May, let’s not forget to celebrate the genius of the humble tree. From a social and psychological boost – and after such a tough year we certainly all need those – to environmental wonder, there is no doubt that there are many benefits to having trees around us.

Here at Vintage Crates we are trying to do our bit to ensure our parks and woods stay laden with trees. Our Apple Crates and Boxes are made locally for us in Lincolnshire from sustainable wood sources. Due to being sturdy crates, they make the perfect long-lasting gift for friends and family. All our Wooden Apple Crates can be personalised too as they are available in a choice of eye-catching colours and you can also add your own special message.

We also have another most stunning option for you that definitely falls under the ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ mantra. Introducing our Whisky Half Barrel that is perfect for planting up now for some summer colour! Late April/May is THE time to be planting so check out this gorgeous sustainable container.

So ditch the plastic and packaging and treat yourself or your loved one to one of our Personalised Apple Crates and Boxes or a Whisky Half Barrel for stylish and sustainable storage that you can feel great inside and out for giving (or keeping!) Check out our range of sustainable wooden apple crates today.
