When people think of buying a planter garden they usually do not take the time to consider their purchase.

Metal is great but very expensive. The window box garden planters made of this material will last forever especially the copper ones. But if that is out of one’s budget, wood pine or cedar may work better. The downside of using any wood is that eventually it will rot. Wood pine will deteriorate quickly when exposed to the elements, and cedar will do the same when it comes in contact with dirt and moisture.

If wood is the choice of an individual, then make sure that the box is pressure treated lumber otherwise the investment will be for nothing. Plastic planters are abundant and can be found easily enough. They are also rather inexpensive, but when frozen, they can crack and this can cause one’s beautiful planter box garden to be destroyed in an instant.
