Shipping & Delivery

Made to order
Each planter is hand-finished when you order it. Allow 5 to 10 business days of production before your order ships.

Curbside freight delivery — $395
This size ships on a pallet by freight truck for a flat $395, free on orders over $2,000. The driver lowers it to the curb with a liftgate; plan for a second person to move it into place. The carrier will call to schedule a delivery window, so please be available.

Returns
14 days from delivery, unused and in the original packaging, with a 30% restocking fee. Refunded as Serene Yards store credit. Drilled and custom planters are final sale. Freight orders are final sale except where the planter arrives damaged or defective.

If it arrives damaged
Inspect the shipment before you sign. Note any damage on the bill of lading or delivery receipt before signing — to the boxes, the planter, or the packing material. A Jay Scotts delivery that arrives visibly damaged or not intact may also be refused outright. Do not refuse a Cosapots delivery: accept it, note the damage on the receipt and contact us, because a refused Cosapots shipment carries a 30% restocking fee plus round-trip shipping under the manufacturer's terms. You are entitled to open each box and inspect the goods; if the driver will not wait, write on the paperwork that you could not check for concealed damage. Report it to us in writing within 2 business days of delivery at customerservice@sereneyards.com, with photos of the damage, the cartons and the packing material, and keep all packaging until the claim is resolved. Damage noted at delivery and reported this way is covered — contact us and we'll make it right, either by replacing the planter or refunding you. Damage not noted at the time of delivery is much harder to resolve, because the carrier claim depends on that record. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.

Return & Refund Policy

Return Eligibility

Every Jay Scotts planter carries a three-year limited manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, which applies whether or not an item is returnable.

Where there is ground, a corner gets a hedge. The Darwin Corner is what goes there when there is no ground: two feet square, three and a half feet tall, with the root volume to keep something alive at that scale.

No other corner planter is both this tall and this wide. The Perth Corner matches it for height on a sixteen-inch base, so it screens just as well but holds roughly two-fifths of the soil. The Brisbane Corner matches its footprint ten inches shorter, so it grows just as well but does not reach. This one does both, which is why it suits the position a mature shrub or a specimen tree would otherwise hold: a hotel entrance, a courtyard angle, a rooftop corner with a slab underneath instead of soil.

The cost is mass. At sixty-three pounds empty it is the heaviest corner planter we carry, it arrives by freight, and once filled it is a fixture. That is the correct trade for a planting meant to last years rather than a season. Two faces sit flat against both walls. Non-porous, so it does not take up the water that expands on freezing, and hand-finished to order in the color you choose.

Darwin Corner Planter in the studio

Made to look considered on a patio, deck, or entryway for years.

Built to last

Every piece we carry is chosen to last, indoors or out, and look considered for years, not seasons.

Built to last

Inside or out

Non-porous fiberglass with a UV-resistant finish: it does not absorb the water that expands on freezing, so it holds its shape through winter and its color through summer.

Large-scale accent

A statement, not a filler

24 inches square and 42 inches tall gives it real architectural presence on its own.

Finished to order

Your color, your space

Each Darwin Corner is hand-finished in your chosen shade, so the color is specified to the space rather than chosen from what is in stock. The finish is an automotive-grade, UV-resistant paint system.

Finished in your color

Every planter is finished to order in the color you choose, then shipped to you.

Twenty standard finishes, hand-finished to order in the color you choose. Custom colors are available on request. On-screen color is a guide and can vary slightly from the finished paint.

Questions, answered

Can the Darwin Corner be used indoors and outdoors?

Yes. It is premium fiberglass, non-porous and UV-resistant, so it does not absorb the water that expands on freezing and does not fade in full sun.

Drainage is what decides it in practice: water left standing in an undrained planter through a freeze is the common failure, not the material.

How big is the Darwin Corner?

One size: 24"L × 24"D × 42"H, with an opening about 20.6 in square.

What is the tall corner shape best for?

At 24 inches square and 42 inches tall it has enough scale to anchor a large entryway or hold a small tree on its own, without the length of a full trough.

What can I plant in it?

The wide, deep opening suits a small tree, a full shrub, or a dense seasonal planting. Use lightweight potting soil only.

Does it come with drainage holes?

Not by default, so it can hold a liner. You can add drilled drainage on request; note a drilled planter is finished to order and non-returnable.

How heavy is it?

About 53 lb empty, movable by two people before planting.
