Simply Handmade at CMR Designer/maker of unique hand-crafted woodland bark effect concrete planters, faux stone effect planters and stepping stones Seeing is believing. . . .

Hello, I'm Colin from Sudbury in Suffolk. I'm a designer/maker with over 20 years experience in the fibreglass mould making industry. Using my skills and experience I have designed some unique reinforced concrete planters for both indoor and outdoor use along with stepping stones, candle holders and more besides all capturing the natural woodland bark effect of real trees. Being made of reinforced

glass concrete my outdoor range is more than capable of being left outside 12 months of the year with the added bonus of being frost resistant. I attend numerous craft fairs, steam rallies and, new for this year, garden shows showing my work. I enjoy chatting and selling direct to the public and customer relationship is very important to me on this personal level. With this is mind I am not interested in the larger garden centres stocking my work. All of the planters in my range are available to buy being sold with or without seasonal plants, often or not as gifts as they are so different and unique. They can be viewed at www.cmrcreations.co.uk

Thankyou for looking, any questions please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

Best Wishes

Colin.

With more and more folk getting stuck in to working on their gardens right now, CMR Creations is simply busier than ever. After just returning from a 3 day garden show in Hertfordshire and meeting several of our existing customers who bought further planters for their gardens, there's just time to head home for one day to reload before heading back to Hertfordshire for a 4 day show run by Living Crafts at Hatfield House. This is one of our most enjoyable events of the year, a 100% handmade fair where only the best artists are able to showcase their work.

So what do you buy the man who has everything for his 70th birthday? CMR Creations came to the rescue once again with th...
