SAINT GEORGE AND THE DRAGON ROUND 3 LEAD PLANTER
As you walk around our St George and the Dragon 3 Panel Round Lead Planter the epic legend scrolls before your eyes. An ornate castle in a bleak, mountainous setting, fire scorched trees with dogs and crows picking over the bones of previous victims. Culminating in a dramatic confrontation between St George, struggling to control his frightened horse and our huge dragon, ferociously gouging at the planter with feral claws. This magnificent planter is large enough for all manner of planting schemes, from trailing and bushy plants to taller statement plants for a more architectural image.

ARTS AND CRAFTS BESPOKE LEAD PLANTER
As an increasing number of our customers require their lead planters to be personalised with names and dates, we have created a variation of the Arts and Crafts pattern to easily accommodate personalisation.
We do not use standard foundry letters to create the patterns, therefore each block of text is sized to fit exactly within the panels. Each panel is then individually sand-cast with your chosen wording in place.
To simplify pricing, the lead planter itself is priced at £1,000, with a £10 pattern making charge for each letter. As the text appears on all four sides of the lead planter, this works out at £2.50 for each letter. Large numbers are priced at £30 each for pattern making.
In the 348 Regency Drive, Millfield example, the planter is £1,000. Three large numbers are £90 and £210 for 21 letters. Therefore, the price of this planter would be £1,300.

ARTS & CRAFTS DOG ROSES SQUARE LEAD PLANTER
The blooms, hips and leaves weave a dense, wild pattern across the panels that is eye catching at any distance. The pattern is based on one of the loveliest, most enduring flowers of the hedgerow, the dog rose (Rosa canina), which is also known as the ‘wild rose’ or ‘witches briar’.
Because of its hardy nature and its faint, sweet scent, the dog rose has carved a deep cultural niche within our society; in mediaeval heraldry, in folklore, in symbolism and medicine. Whatever the reason, we love this flower and give it pride of place on this striking lead planter that will look beautiful in your garden.

With his calm demeanour our Green Man lead planters are bound to be the centre of attention in your garden.
