Growing pains: The zinc balcony planter

209a_0513

If you thought legendary English textile brand Liberty was about nothing more than floral prints and fashion, think again. It’s also your one-stop shop for everything you could ever want for the garden, including this zinc balcony planter – sturdy enough to withstand Scottish gales while still looking good. Fill with cucumber and gherkin seeds (which flourish especially well in May and June).
