Mill Valley Planter by Campania InternationalThe Mill Valley Planter for an old-world look with a modern style. Planters are a fantastic starting point for gardeners. Their color, size, and shape can enhance your landscaping ideas. Planters create a controlled environment for beginners, making learning how to grow plants easier. Advanced gardeners can use them to elevate their designs. You can use planters as focal points in your garden or highlight your home's features. Arranging colorful planters can refresh an outdated garden. Planting in containers is a fun way to enjoy and celebrate outdoor living.The Mill Valley Planter is shown in the Pietra Nuova finish. Campania International offers cast stone products in exclusive natural pigment stains. Each patina is hand-applied through a multi-step process, creating unique finishes that resemble naturally aged materials. Like wood stains, each piece absorbs the patinas differently, resulting in distinct surface variations. This artisanal technique ensures that every piece is unique and allows for seamless natural aging outdoors. Colors may vary due to the hand application process.Campania International manufactures its cast stone products in the USA using locally sourced natural materials. The cast stone pieces are created with a proprietary, high-density mix of water, sand, stone aggregate, and cement. All patinas available for the products are applied by hand to ensure quality. Cast stone results in a strong and durable product that weathers beautifully outdoors.All Campania International planters have drainage holes. In winter, if you plan to leave a planter outside with plants, elevate it to keep the drainage hole clear and prevent it from freezing to the ground. If the planter is unused, store it in a garage or shed. The high-density cast stone mixture provides durability but requires maintenance to withstand winter freeze-thaw cycles. These cycles can damage planters holding water, snow, or ice, especially if placed directly on the ground. If you cannot elevate the planter, turn it upside down to prevent snow and ice accumulation. Cover it with burlap or an absorbent material, then wrap it in dark plastic to prevent moisture build-up.
