Woolworths in Margate on the Redcliffe peninsula of North Brisbane was looking for a solution to create a buffer between their car park and the pedestrian walkway. They chose our Florence Tall Trough planters in the large size, a perfect fit for the job.

Planted with hardy golden cane palms, these troughs are built to withstand Brisbane’s harsh outdoor conditions. They’re designed for full sun and weather exposure, and their durability is backed by a standard 3-year warranty – able to be extended to 5 years. The robust construction is also perfect for plants with vigorous root systems like the golden cane.

While not designed to be hit by cars or trolleys, these fibreglass planters have held up remarkably well against heavy-duty foot and shopping trolley traffic. You’ll notice the colour is slightly darker than our regular range – his is because the property maintenance team has repainted them to cover scratches from shopping trolleys, scooters, and other impacts.

This is a great example of how simple maintenance, like a fresh coat of paint, can extend the life of these planters to well over five years.
