Tournesol is working towards environmental, economic, and social sustainability. It is our long-term commitment to impactful change, and we're only at the beginning.
This past year, we launched several products that aligned with our green vision. Our Wilshire Planters and Kitsap Modular Planter Walls are now available in aluminum, and our Bioretention Planters have improved functionality and design flexibility.
Seeds of Change Program
With deep roots in our local communities, we seek opportunities to reflect our dedication to improving the world around us. We recognize our responsibility to give back, and we're eager to help. This is the inspiration for our new community program, Seeds of Change. Our support extends to product donations, discounts on our offerings, and direct assistance in the form of helping hands to support your project. Contact us for more info.

Standard Options
Standard options can be added to many of our products to meet project needs. Note that we have capabilities beyond the options listed and we can create products to meet your exact specifications. For something off-menu, speak to a Tournesol Advisor.
Irrigation Systems
Tournesol’s container irrigation systems are the best in the business, and one of the values of working with Tournesol. Read more about Irrigation on Page 34.
Change in Dimension, Angled Length Modification
Don’t see the size you’re looking for? Many of our planters can be ordered with a change in one dimension as a standard option.
Accessory Pockets
Accommodate lighting, audio, power, and data. View our Fixture Compatibility Chart to use a Standard Accessory Pocket. Custom Accessory Pockets are available for fixtures not appearing on the compatibility chart.
Scoops
Square and rectangular planters can be connected endto-end to create linear runs. “Scoops” lower adjacent planter walls allowing them to hide beneath the soil surface, creating a continuous planting along the top.
Casters
Recessed casters discreetly provide mobility and are available for many of our planter collections. Planters receiving casters are built with reinforced raised bottoms, so that casters hide under skirted planter walls.
TourneSeal
Need it watertight? Specify TourneSeal, our waterproofing solution. This is highly recommended for planters that will not have drain holes.
Lift Channels
Moving large planters on the job site can be challenging. By adding lift channels, you can safely and quickly move planters on site. We have two configurations for lift channels: pallet jack or forklift.
Toe Kick
Planters with toe kicks (reveals) are available in several standard sizes. In addition, some products may be configured to add a toe kick, such as Wilshire Planters in Steel.
Matching Saucer
Capture runoff from drain holes to prevent surface staining. Available in GFRC and FRP with matching finishes. Learn more about Saucers on Page 35.
False Bottom
Reduce soil volume and weight in planters by adding false bottoms. False bottoms are 24" below the top of the planter unless otherwise specified. If other depth is needed, please contact your Advisor.
Drain Holes
Standard GFRC and Steel planters come with drain holes, but FRP planters come without. All our pots and planters are available with or without drain holes, simply specify your choice.
Bottom Reinforcement
When specifying FRP planters that won’t have full basal support after installation or planters that will be anchored to the underlying surface, bottom reinforcement is recommended.
Tie Downs
Tie Downs are available to hold trees in place. These are available for planters in all our materials. Ties are added inside planters at the midpoint. Ties are evenly distributed to keep tree centered.
Custom Color
Tournesol offers a broad range of standard colors for GFRC, FRP, and Powder-Coat, but we also offer custom colors depending on product and volume. Contact a Tournesol Advisor to discuss your custom color needs.
The durability of fiberglass with the warmth of wood.
A fiberglass liner keeps moisture from the soil, ground, and irrigation away from the cladding, extending the life and beauty of the wood surfaces.
Our customers rely on our expertise in custom planters, planter walls, and site furnishings. We offer a range of customization options, from modifying standard products to custom fabrication.

Irrigation, Drainage & Root Barrier
Why Use Tournesol’s Self-Watering Irrigation?
They keep plants healthy, strong, and stress-free by balancing moisture and oxygen in the soil.
They allow extended maintenance intervals.
Their closed system prevents the possibility of water damage for interiors.
The overflow drainage adapter for exterior applications keeps excess rainwater from building up.
CWI & CWC Irrigation Inserts
Our inserts are self-watering systems designed to be used in cylindrical and tapered decorative pots. Tournesol’s proven vacuum-sensor watering system precisely controls moisture levels, watering the plant when the soil dries. The large reservoir allows for refill intervals up to four times longer than typical hand watering. This moisture control, when combined with subirrigation, makes the most water-efficient irrigation systems.
CWM Modular Insert System
Our versatile modular system is designed for large planters. Reservoir modules are linked together and installed before filling with plants and media. The hand-filled reservoir utilizes Tournesol’s vacuum-sensor system to precisely monitor the soil moisture in the container, giving plants exactly the amount of water needed. The modular system provides optimal flexibility for use in virtually any shape planter, will not interfere with lighting or other electrical connections, and requires no plumbing.
