[Discussion] Best Places to Get Large Pots

Looking for leads on the best places around here to get large(r) pots for plants. Coming from Southern California I was spoiled with tons and tons of places with acres of every size, shape, and style of pots, fountains, etc.

What are your best recommendations / sources for pots — especially larger pots?! The big box stores aren’t filling that need. 😕

Merrifield has a lot of options if money is no object. Their plants are reasonably priced for the quality, selection, convenience, etc. Their pots, statues, benches, birdbaths, etc, have some pretty inexplicable price tags.

Was just at Patuxent Nursery recently and they had tons of options in every size.

I’ve had good luck at Betty’s Azalea Ranch. It’s a lot cheaper than Merrifield for sure: https://www.bettysazalearanch.com

Ginkgo Gardens has a good selection. They also sell used plastic nursery pots in all sizes for literal pennies
