Bollington Themed Planters
Paying homage to the town where we first started our small family run business, we are making some limited runs of Bollington themed planters. A few local landmarks to kick things off. We welcome any and all ideas.
Machine cut and carefully hand finished; they make for perfect planters on table tops or windowsills. They can be used as cute little caddies too. You are only limited by your imagination!
