12/12/20 - Plants and Pots Never Take a Snow Day - Succulents & Planters Still for Sale

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but these plant sales are so delightful. And since we've all no place to go, let us show plants in the snow, in the snow, in the snow.

Just because there’s snow on the ground doesn’t mean that show won’t go on. Please, drive safe, dress warm, wear slip resistant boots, and do keep my plant sales in mind!

Pottery and plants are available for sale from 9 to 5 in (not so) sunny Sherrelwood, right off Highway 36 and the Pecos exit, just as they are every weekend, without exception.

Except, there might be an exception. Christmas is in two weeks and the 26th, the day after Xmas, falls on a Saturday. My intention is to remain open as I always would, but I’d like to hear from my customers first.

If you needed a pot or a plant on that day, would you still come? Or is the 26th a day of vegetation and item returns? I’m guessing lots of people will be out doing the latter, so I plan on being available.

Should you be interested now, then, or later, feel free to make plans to visit my shop. Or drop me a line at:

<< 909 >> << 744 >> << 7708 >>

Glazed ceramic pots make great gifts, and we have terracotta and resin pottery as well. The majority of my plants are of the cactus and succulent sorts, but there are others beyond cacti and succulents. There’s lavender in pre-planted planters, a smattering of pothos, and plenty of snake plants for all.

Prices typically range from $10 to $40 on the pots and plants, though the largest ceramics can approach $100. Feel free to ask about my $20 14-inch tall pot (pictured in the snow) or $45 16-inch wide planters as great options to add color without a hefty cost.

I’ve always bundled items to give customers great cash discounts, but I’m also known to give a free pot, plant, or two to those who support this small business.

Like the theme of this post, I’m always available rain or shine on the weekends, but I do make it to the shop midweek on occasion as well. Feel free to reach out with your schedule and we can attempt to coordinate.

Here are some of the free items I offer with absolutely no purchase necessary:

Broken pottery / terracotta + ceramic shards

Packaging materials

Pallets

Plant cuttings when available

Individual clay pots for kids

Snow angel instruction

Plastic nursery pots including the hanging baskets

Beer slushies while supplies last (bring a cup, question any non freshly fallen snow)

Friendship, of course

Of course you knew that last one was coming. You also knew the pottery jargon was just around the corner too:

You know what doesn’t succulent? Putting landscape flowers from the 5280 decorative green planters by design. Need a planter that can fit a tree? It could be free with purchase of a ton of succulents or a couple cheap landscaping sized pots. Mr. maceta is all about the value, whether it’s cacti, a trade, something ceramic, or even fruit at the outdoor market. I don’t have many yucca for sale at the house yet, but if you know of any that I can put on my estate around the exterior, all my décor is up for barter including vintage Gainey pottery, assorted house plants, and my garden of glazed beauties. If you’re a backyard gardener planting cactus in macetas, gardening with family, searching for deals in the mile high at yard sale style prices, you should be potting with my Italian ceramics, and looking no further. I have pachypodium, which are great for xeriscape in all states that don’t freeze, and a container or two you might dig. Land a deal on clay for your deck that’s a major bargain compared to a nursery and grow local plants, or plant extra euphorbia at home this holiday season. Either way, there’s more than an outside chance I’ll cut you a deal on my surplus planters.

If you’re from north of Northglenn, west of Westminster, south of Superior, or east of Erie, odds are you’re not that far from Sherrelwood, unincorporated Denver’s go to for great deals on pots and plants. Find us near Federal Heights, which is right near Commerce City, Thornton, Broomfield, Louisville, Lakewood, Golden, and Arvada, right off Highway 36. If you park your car in Parker, it’s going to take you about as long as Longmont, but if you’re in Littleton, I’d expect it to take about as long as Boulder (which is not that long at all). Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, and other Larimer County cities are certainly further destinations on the Front Range, but if people are coming in good numbers from Castle Rock and Centennial, so can you, especially if you actually live in Lafayette after all.

Also, one more thing, I’m working with a muralist to bring lots of custom artwork to life on my white concrete planter series. Take a look at some of the initial designs, provide feedback, and let me know what’d you like to see and purchase going forward.
