You can win...
Even a small outdoor space – a balcony, patio or sunny doorstep – can become a showcase for seasonal colour with this beautifully crafted oak planter, created in collaboration between the National Trust and outdoor furniture makers Gaze Burvill. Made in Hampshire by skilled craftspeople using characterful ‘Grown in Britain’ oak offcuts, each planter has its own unique grain and silvery patina that sets off plants beautifully.
The clever ‘twist and lift’ design means you can swap the liner in seconds, refreshing your display throughout the year without the hassle of repotting.
If that wasn’t enough, the winner will also receive a potted ‘Olivia’ shrub rose bred by David Austin.
Every purchase from the National Trust’s Gaze Burvill collection contributes to the careful management of the forests and woodlands in the Trust’s care.
Terms and conditions
The first correct entry drawn at random will win a 46cm Gaze Burvill x National Trust planter with additional liner (RRP £492), and a potted David Austin ‘Olivia’ rose (RRP £35). There is no cash alternative. Entrants must be over 18. The competition is not open to employees of the National Trust. Each person may only enter once, either by post or online. The winner will be drawn and notified within 30 days of the closing date. Once notified, the winner must claim their prize within 2 weeks, or a new winner will be drawn. All entries will be securely disposed of once the prizes have been dispatched. Your details will not be used for any other purpose. Read the full T&Cs.
