Holy Pots! After a crazy, busy repotting season, we have finally restocked our pots, and the season ain’t over yet!

While we preach Spring and Summer for repotting in these Midwest regions, many plants may be bursting at the seams after a season of active growth and ready for a new pot to set them off in style. Repotting during the warmer months allows plants to get their roots settled and established before winter.

We’ve got nearly every color of pot you could ever desire and textures between to allow for fun color combos or monochromatic (single color) collections that will make statements more subtly.

Shop all of our pots online or better yet…PAY US A VISIT!

Filled to the brim here in Dubuque, Iowa
