Default Pots for plants, where to buy?

Pots for plants are so expensive. Where do you all buy them! Prefer ones that have drainage. Thanks.

A couple of years ago, I found some at either Home Depot or Lowe's. There was a long wall in the garden department. There were lots of choices -- wherever it was. You might want to try both stores.

Sometimes, you can drill holes in the bottom if there are not any. Also, it helps to do a layer or so of rocks or broken clay pots in the bottom. That helps with drainage.

Check out the ones in front of Publix. They are large and nice looking and affordable too.

We find a good selection, reasonably priced, at Home Depot. My husband uses a masonry bit to drill drainage holes if there aren't any.

Of course, Fairfield Nursery has gorgeous ones, but they can be pricey.

I was just at Colony Publix. They have big decorated pots. I picked up one and looked at the price. It was $19.95. It had one drainage hole.

Someone posted a need for pots in Wanted to Buy and I sold them a whole bunch of them for free. I gained some space and they got the pots they needed. Give it a try.

Sorry that I do not have any more to give you.

Default Pots etc

I bought some nice looking fiber glass pots at Rural King (Leesburg) last year. Look like glazed pots but are much less costly and not nearly as heavy.

Home Depot. Beautiful pots for $20. If you wait until September some are on clearance for less than $15...
