Gibt es einen Ort, an dem Sie den Kauf von Pflanzgefäßen und Töpfen empfehlen würden? Sie sind online und in Gartencentern (besonders in den größeren) erpresserisch erhältlich und ich hoffe halb, dass ich einen Ort finde, der Restbestände/Lagerbestände des letzten Jahres oder beschädigte Bestände zu einem günstigeren Preis verkauft? Ich schaue regelmäßig auf Facebook Marketplace und eBay nach, aber es ist sehr unzuverlässig und das Laufwerk ist möglicherweise nicht immer das wert, was angeboten wird. Außerdem erfreuen wir uns an Tipps, wie man andere Gegenstände als Pflanzgefäße umfunktionieren kann (ich habe letztes Jahr einige Weinkisten ausprobiert, aber trotz der Versiegelung haben sie alle unter den äußeren Bedingungen furchtbar gelitten). Ich möchte so etwas vor meinem Haus anlegen (ich habe mich von einem zufälligen Haus an einem Tagesausflug inspirieren lassen) und würde auch gerne einen kleinen Gemüsegarten mit Pflanzgefäßen anlegen, bevor ich mich auf etwas komplizierteres einlasse, also irgendwelche Tipps und Empfehlungen sind willkommen! 🤗 Ich bin in der Nähe von Glasgow, falls das einen Unterschied macht.

I find The Range pretty good for plastic ones, I got a load of cute pastel colourful ones that have lasted for years and were a decent price. I haven’t really found anywhere that is universally good for terracotta type ones…I tend to just pick the odd one up from garden centres when they have some offer on because they are pricey AF.
I doubt you will find them discounted at this time of year, at the start of the season.
Try the Range, B&M, OneAndBeyond and stack it high retailers.
Alternative build your own, they need minimal DIY skills, mostly patience and care in measuring.
Facebook market place. You can also build your own with decking, even used decking. Or pallet wood is probably the cheapest way. Just make sure you treat it.
that sort of collection has probably been acquired over many years.
the local recycling centre usually has a selection. off season sales at garden centres and national trust places can be alright too.
edit: second hand/antique markets too if you have something like that nearby – there is usually a dealer with some at ours.
Keep checking marketplace, gumtree, eBay. Just make a note to check every day or every other day. They will come on and disappear. Also if you have a street or neighbourhood group ask on there – I have a ton I’m not using, not looking to sell, but would probably pass on to a neighbour if they asked. Check skips outside building sites – people will drop garden rubbish in while they’re there for construction. Also see if you can find some landscapers or gardeners, they will often to garden clearance for clients and will have stuff going (again, marketplace). If you find one let them know you’re interested in more!
If you’re in the South West, Plants Galore or Trago Mills
I work at a garden centre and we quite often have a few discounted lines of last season’s pots as the new stuff is about to roll in. That said, they don’t exactly have a shelf life, so it doesn’t always happen everywhere. Plain terracotta ones are pretty affordable though and most places do them
This garden specifically has small terracotta pots at the front, a wine barrel trough, and everything else is kinda hidden. They probably are nice pots still, but they’re not essential to creating this look and have probably been collected over a lifetime.
So, I’d start with some small terracotta pots, and then get big plastic ones from B&M for the rest. Once the flowers grow in, they’ll hide the plastic pots and you can upgrade slowly as time goes on and things break etc.
I’ve picked up quite a few nice ones from Boot Sales in the past. Very cheap (mostly).
I picked a couple up from Homebase before Christmas. They had some good offers on as part of the closing down sale.
The Internet.
Market Place
Reclamation yards
Skips
Also Dunelm.
If you can get down to Hexham way there is a Errington Reay outlet, they’re brilliant pots
Watch freecycle and the like. People have clear outs sporadically. Generally of their less fancy ones (as they swap out plastic for ceramic (not the right word but I hope you get me)). It’s a great way to get started.
TK maxx has some nice ones at a more reasonable price than garden centers
For my bigger planters I just make them out of old pallets lined with EPDM to stop them rotting away.
Depending on what you are trying to grow, i have gone to the hardware store and bought gutters and end caps to make planters in. With these, you can lay them on the ground or mount to a fence.
For freebies you could try asking a nearby microbrewery or real ale bar. We are always throwing away plastic vessels about the right size!
See if your local homebase is closing down, I grabbed some bargains this weekend, all pots/containers 1/2 price!
I searched “job lot pots” on eBay and gumtree and ended up with a lovely collection!
Not from garden centres, B&Q, Wickes and all other shitty rip-off stores like that unless you’re too middle class or too rich to care how much you pay anyway, it would be good to see all these places end up like Homebase has.
I’d keep on eye on all the garden centres near you, they all have sales of pots.
TK Maxx come spring/summer
If have a homegoods. There’s already a ton of them at my local store
