Floral Clocks

Custom Floral Clocks for Botanical Gardens

Sometimes called botanical clocks or landscape clocks, floral clocks are designed to work with the landscape to provide a unique, nature-focused look. Usually, these clocks pair mechanical hands with hardscape materials or flowers that serve as the dials. Due to floral clocks' incorporation of landscaping and nature, they're some of the most eye-catching clocks available today.

You can often see these clocks used in botanical gardens, as they beautify the area and are widely loved by community members. Besides public gardens, you can often see them in private gardens, university campuses, office parks and town centers. Some businesses also use them, as these clocks draw attention and add an elegant feature to their landscape.

What Makes a Good Floral Clock?

When you go to pick the right floral clock for your needs, you'll want to know about some of the top qualities you'd find in a great flower clock. A high-quality botanical clock will come with a durable design, diverse landscaping options, connection to the internet and multiple hand options.

If you want the best floral clock possible, take a moment to review some of the main features you should look for in a floral clock:

• Diverse landscaping options: No two gardens will look the same, and no two landscape clocks should look the same, either. As you look for an exceptional floral clock, you'll want to choose one that can work with various landscapes. For example, some floral clocks can utilize landscaping materials requiring no maintenance, or they can be designed to accommodate various plants, allowing landscapers to switch them out according to the season.
• Durable and safe design: Since a garden clock is essential to your landscape's appearance and has to stand up to various environmental pressures, it needs to be durable and avoid taking damage from the weather. A high-quality, durable clock will often feature a worm gear output drive and cast aluminum gear housing, as these materials can stand up to some of the most intense forces of nature.
• Multiple hand options: A great botanical clock provider will allow you to select from multiple hand options to ensure you receive a clock meeting your creative vision. For example, you can often order clock hands in solid or hollow constructions. Some companies also enjoy using clock hands with plant beds in them, making it so the hands transform into a moving garden. You might also be interested in options for internal illumination to the clock's hands, allowing the clock to stand out at night.
• Connection to the internet: While you might not think of internet compatibility when you're looking for a clock, it's an incredibly important feature. When you have a floral clock with GPS, LAN or WAN controlled clock systems, you can expect it to always deliver the most precise time possible. Since these clock systems are connected to the internet, they'll ensure your clock runs on internet time rather than any manual input.
• Maintenance-free operation: When you select a landscape clock, you don't want to spend time constantly maintaining it. A great floral clock will incorporate a maintenance-free oil reservoir, as this feature gives the clock constant lubrication. By continuously providing lubrication to the clock, this oil reservoir reduces the amount of required maintenance and keeps the floral clock running longer.
