Shire Stone Garden Trough

The Shire Stone Garden Trough is a handcrafted planter priced at £169. It works equally well as a plant trough or decorative water feature.

Cast from reconstituted stone, each trough has a dimpled, natural-looking texture. The manufacturing process gives it an aged appearance straight from delivery. Moss and lichen attach quickly, blending the trough into established garden settings within weeks.

At 660mm long and 280mm wide, the Shire Trough suits patios, terraces, and cottage garden borders. The 150mm deep planting area holds enough compost for herbs, alpines, or trailing bedding plants. Two colour choices let you match existing stonework: Aged Cotswold for lighter schemes, Burnt Umber for warmer tones.

Weighing 38kg, this trough stays put even in exposed positions. It needs no anchoring or additional support. The reconstituted stone is frost-proof, UV stable, and will not crack or flake through British winters.
