Garden planters are popular containers made of such materials as bronze, wrought iron, brass, cast aluminum, stainless steel, and copper. If you are shopping for an indoor pot or a container to use on your patio, deck, in the garden, or for window boxes, hanging baskets, or wall hangers.
Metal garden planters are sturdy and long-wearing, retain moisture well, help prevent insect infestations, and are rust-proof. The heavier metals can contain shrubs, vines, and small trees, but if you want to be able to move full soil and plant-filled pots and planters, choose a lighter metal such as cast aluminum or copper.
