Apta (19C12) have launched a range of extremely lightweight planters that closely replicate the look of traditional glazed products.

Managing director Paul Sykes said: “British gardeners are traditionalists, and although the idea of modern lightweight planters is appealing, research tells us that what people really wanted was the benefit of lightweight with the look of traditional products. This drove us to develop our new Glazelite range”.

Glazelite is a brilliant innovation that combines the exact look of glazed pottery with all the benefits of modern recycled materials. These planters, in two designs, are almost impossible to distinguish from traditional products when planted up, whilst also being ultra lightweight, robust; and environmentally friendly. The material is a combination of clay and re-cycled plastic.

Both GlazeLite designs are available in a range of four colours.
