We love unique flower pots - and we really, really love unique cool looking flower pots that make us feel good about ourselves and help to save the planet. These new pots from the Re:Treads collection from our friends at River Market Pottery do just that - they're made by hand from recycled tires.
Not only are these planters eco-friendly, but they also have a nice back story - the small workshop which produces them for us was a leather-crafting shop which had gone out of business as the price of hides increased. After some experimentation, it was realized that with some preparation, tires could be used to create some of the same traditional vessels and containers that had formerly been produced in leather.
Now that the workshop has re-opened, discarded tires past the point of re-treading are brought to the manufacturer's workshop. whatever tread might still be left is stripped and recycled for use as mulch, while the steel belting is removed and also recycled. The remaining sheets of rubber are hand cut using the same leather working tools and techniques as the shop used in the past.
More than a quarter of a billion tires are trashed each year - every flower pot we sell helps to cut this number a little bit.These pots can be planted, they can be used for storage, or they can be used as totes. They are very strong and extraordinarily durable.
Side from their obvious utility, these rubber pots make great conversation pieces, and are currently sold in several boutique outlets. Because we work with flower pots on a day-to-day basis, we are able to offer prices far below those offered by these other outlets. Click here to see our competitor's prices for these pots

We’ve recently started using this trowel from Radius Garden products, and have never encountered a product as perfectly engineered for its task. Although it is intended for use as a bulb trowel, we’ve discovered that its longer, narrower profile is perfect for our container gardening tasks. Its blade easily slices through all types of soil, and reaches even the deepest corners of our flower pots and planters. Constructed of an aluminum / magnesium alloy, the blade has an exceptional strength to weight ratio, and its satin finish reduces the amount of dirt which adheres to the blade while working.
"Cloche" is the French word for "bell" and our cloche flower pot features graceful curves that enhance this elegant planter. Vibrant shades of blue and grey elegantly cover this artisan-crafted flower pot. Simple carvings that are the natural stoneware beige ever so evenly interrupt the brilliant blues on our unique flower pot.

New for Summer, 2006, this tee shirt really sums it all up for us --
the front features our logo on the left breast, and the back screams "I Love To Get Dirty!" in grimey, mud-brown type. We've been wearing these around for a few weeks, and we've been getting a great response.
This tee is made from heavy-duty 100% cotton, and is a standard cut.

"Cloche" is the French word for "bell" and our planter features the graceful curves of its namesake. This whimsical work of art features a dragonfly flitting amongst tall reeds. This summertime image is hand-carved into the flower pot and then glazed in two colors. We feel this flower pot is perfect to bring to life any yard, patio or garden.
