Adorned with beautiful carvings of shells and corals, the Smithsonian Chesapeake Urn Garden Planter is a novel way to bring the joys of the beach right to your doorstep or at least your garden. Beautifully crafted with fiber reinforced cast stone concrete and finished by hand in the stain of your choice, this piece will make a beautiful focal point for your outdoors – one that will stand the test of time.

Due to the nature of concrete there is very little that can go wrong with it as long as it’s properly cared for. For this reason Campania does not offer a warranty for their products. Our 15+ years of experience has shown that Campania’s products are more than capable of withstanding the test of time. These products are designed to last well over 40 years, and will as long as proper care is provided for them.

In the winter, if a planter is to remain planted, it should be raised up off the ground making sure not to block the drainage hole. This allows the planter to drain and will prevent the planter from freezing to the ground. If the planter is not to be planted, it should be brought inside a garage or shed. If this is not possible, follow the steps above, but turn the planter upside down to prevent it from filling with snow and ice. It should then be covered or wrapped with burlap or any absorbent material (old blanket/towel) and then wrapped with dark plastic to prevent it from accumulating moisture.

Campania proudly manufactures its cast stone products in the USA using locally sourced materials. All of our cast stone pieces are manufactured using the wet casting technique with a proprietary high density cast stone mix, yielding a PSI strength of approximately 7,500. The mix is comprised primarily of water, sand, stone aggregate and cement. Our cast stone products may qualify for LEED credits as applicable to your project. Cast stone produces a strong and durable product that will weather naturally in an outdoor environment. Simply stated, cast stone is chosen for its beauty and authenticity. Our material is natural, authentic, made in the USA, and 100% recyclable.

NOTE: All of our patinas are hand applied in a multi-step process which produces unique and beautiful surface finishes. Designed to replicate the look of naturally aged materials, the patinas will not prevent the natural aging process that occurs in an outdoor environment. Rather than creating uniform stains, our approach gives our products their unique beauty and appeal.
