Custom Planter Boxes

Before and after

Our work

We’ve built custom planter boxes for customers who live in small, urban spaces but want to grow their own fresh food, herbs, or flowers.

Choose from basic planter boxes or have us add the soil and plants for a box that is fully planted and ready to grow!

If we plant your boxes, plants are selected to suit growing conditions such as sun or shade, with the resident’s preferences top consideration. Organic and locally grown seedlings are selected, with an emphasis on native species.

Self-watering planters are highly recommended for lower maintenance and optimal plant health; these are lined and have a water reservoir underneath the soil, and are watered through an inconspicuous fill-pipe.

No matter how small your space, planter boxes are a great choice for growing your own food and flowers!

Miinikaan’s role: Garden space assessment, recommend number and sizes of planter boxes, custom build and delivery of boxes planting plan consultation, and plant supply.

“In the world of glass and concrete, I love my wooden boxes with herbs and native plants and perennials coming back every summer.

My balcony garden has been going for six years. There’s been no need to repair the structure, and the watering system continues to work perfectly and is very easy to maintain.

This design combines the pleasure of perennials with the opportunity to plant varied things from year to year with some annuals that I choose, including edible things, morning glories, and beans.”
