AKRON, Ohio — Elkhart Plastics, a Myers Industries company (NYSE: MYE) and a major player in rotational molding, is diving into the world of waterfront living with its latest innovation. The company just unveiled the Schwig’s Garden Box™, a modular accessory designed to seamlessly integrate with its Connect-A-Dock® 2000 Series floating dock system.
Elkhart Plastics, a Myers Industries company and leading rotational molder, today announced the launch of the Schwig’s Garden Box™, a modular dock accessory that mounts directly to Elkhart’s Connect-A-Dock® 2000 Series floating dock system for a seamless integration. The Schwig’s Garden Box offers dock owners a durable, low-maintenance way to grow flowers, herbs, vegetables, and other decorative plants—enhancing any waterfront space. It also supports commercial and municipal applications and can help transform public shorelines, retention basins, floodplains, and otherwise unusable flood basins into welcoming green environments.
The Schwig’s Garden Box, developed in partnership with Schwig Outdoors, essentially turns your dock into a floating garden. It’s a raised-bed design with a generous 20-cubic-foot capacity, promising a low-maintenance way for dock owners to cultivate flowers, herbs, vegetables, or just add some greenery to their waterfront property.
But the applications don’t stop at private residences. Elkhart Plastics is also targeting commercial and municipal entities, envisioning the Garden Box revitalizing public shorelines, retention basins, and even floodplains. Think community gardens sprouting up in unexpected places, turning otherwise unusable spaces into vibrant, welcoming environments.
“We’re thrilled to introduce this innovative dock accessory,” says Josh Brown, Senior Sales Director for Connect-A-Dock. “The Schwig’s Garden Box unlocks new possibilities for waterfront spaces, whether it’s a homeowner adding a touch of charm to their dock or a city seeking to transform a neglected shoreline.”
For those looking to “grow” their waterfront appeal, the Schwig’s Garden Box is now available through the Connect-A-Dock dealer network.
With the boating season in full swing, Connect-A-Dock aims to capitalize on the demand for high-performance floating dock solutions. Their product lineup features everything from customizable boat docks to drive-on jet ski ports and the YAKport® kayak launch, all engineered for durability and ease of use.
