Herb and Salad Cloche Planter - Plain Aluminium - £239.00 Herb & Salad Cloche Planter - Antique Ivory - £239.00

The Heritage Garden Herb and Salad Cloche Planter is a robust, design-forward solution for anyone who wants fresh herbs and crisp salad greens harvested closer to home. Built around a sturdy aluminium cloche with 4mm toughened safety glass and a durable aluminium finish, this planter protects tender crops from cool nights and curious wildlife while letting sunlight do the work. An optional antique ivory finish adds a touch of timeless elegance—if you’d like to explore this finish, just note that it runs on additional cost and lead time. Designed for versatility and practical growing, the cloche and base work together or apart, giving you maximum flexibility in how you garden. The 2-tier tanalised wooden base is sustainably sourced and ideal for cultivating salad crops and herbs, while the cloche itself can stand independently as a compact, portable greenhouse. Place it anywhere in the garden, from a sunny border to a sheltered patio, or position it by the kitchen door to harvest herbs for cooking in seconds. Key benefits that set this cloche apart - Year-round growing, with seasonal flexibility: The cloche creates a warm microclimate, helping crops get a head start in spring and extend into autumn. With the right varieties, you can enjoy fresh salad greens throughout the year. - Gentle, natural ventilation: A small gap between the side panels and the roof provides gentle convection, venting warm air while retaining humidity so herbs stay lush. - Practical, maintenance-friendly design: The two top glass panels lift out for easy watering and quick crop checks. In summer, you can leave the side glass in place and remove the roof panels to create a sun trap that still allows rain to water the crop. - Weather-ready and secure: 4mm toughened safety glass ensures the cloche stays grounded during high winds, while each pane lifts out for hassle-free cleaning and maintenance. - Flexible configuration: The wooden base and cloche can be used together or separately, giving you multiple setup options—grow close to the house for quick harvests, or position deeper in the garden for a longer-term crop cycle. - Fresh herbs at your doorstep: Place the cloche near the kitchen door to cultivate a portable herb garden—perfect for cooks who want basil, parsley, chives, and mint within arm’s reach. Who is this ideal for? - Gardeners seeking a reliable, long-lasting cloche that protects delicate crops while offering easy access for frequent harvesting. - Home chefs who want a ready-to-pick supply of fresh herbs and salad greens, right outside the kitchen. - Gift buyers looking for a thoughtful present for keen gardeners who value durability, versatility, and year-round growing potential. What’s inside and how it helps you harvest smarter - Cloche: Aluminium frame with toughened safety glass, designed to withstand the weather and keep crops visible and accessible. - Base: Two-tier tanalised wooden frame, sustainably sourced to support healthy root growth and provide a stable foundation. - Independent components: Use the cloche and wooden base separately for different growing layouts or to reconfigure your space as plants mature.
