Patio season is here. And for restaurants, that means months full of outdoor brunches, casual business lunches, date-night dinners, and evening cocktails. Your patio is almost as important as your menu. After all, guests love visiting an incredible venue as much as they enjoy amazing food.

Whether for a commercial or private swimming pool, metal planters - filled with shade plants and flowers - provide the perfect opportunity to design a lush, green poolside oasis. When creating your poolside landscaping, select modern planters that complement your patio’s design aesthetic and choose plants that add privacy, shade, and color (or scent).
