5/22/21 - A Year’s Worth of Pots and There’s Still Planters for Sale - Pottery + Plants

Here we are, a year later; you, browsing for garden goods, and I, selling semi-trucks of pots out of the same location.

Hello Denvermerica, I’m Ian, your local pot dealer, and I’ve been moving pottery at volume and discount from sunny Sherrelwood for over a year now.

Does that merit celebration? Sure, so come treat yourself.

In all actuality, it’s just a minor milestone for you and me, as I intend to be here forever and it’s not uncommon for my customers to take 1-2 years to make a visit.

Should you wish to make a visit after all, locate the borough of Sherrelwood, home of Cheryl Wood; you know her sister Sheryl would. It’s located off the Boulder Turnpike at the Highway 36 and Pecos exit.

Message me or Cheryl for the address:

Spring and summer will be soon upon us. My warm weather hours are as follows:

Saturdays and Sundays - 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Wednesdays and Fridays - 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

I can come earlier or stay later as needed. Feel free to ask about off days. I’m chronically truant weekend mornings and am prone to leaving before 7 if there are no customers. Message me if you’re ever concerned I’m not or won’t be at my shop.

I wouldn’t have gotten this far without mentioning what’s free. Nothing is free. Get a job. Just kidding. It’s my job to ply you and your loved ones with free add ons, discounts, and general giveaways.

Elongated lists for no reason

We’ve made it this far into the post and you still might not know what’s going on. Know that glazed ceramic pottery is for sale and plants too. There’s terracotta as low as $2 and 18 inch matte white concrete cylinders at $80. Essentially all other pots fall somewhere in between.

In terms of plants, they’re mostly cacti and succulents, but outside of a large cactus for $100-300, they predominantly cost $10 to $45 and include house plants too like pothos, philodendron (micans), and hoya too.

Most importantly, there’s low, low prices on all the pottery jargon you could ever need.

Hey you, euphorbia lover, looking to land a bargain while fishing for pachypodium? If you’re thinking of ceramic while you’re biking, you’ll dig these cactus plants I’ve been potting in clay platers. House plants are great, but have you tried trees in outdoor glazed free with purchase tree pots? If not, here’s how you can mile high gardener. Get yourself outdoors and get your car out of the garage. Double check the hours and directions on your laptop or iphone so you’re not racing towards succulents, pottery, or a great garden deal last minute. Point your tires towards Sherrelwood and get ready for a holiday in North Denver. Put on some water sounds for your drive and envision finding the perfect landscape maceta for your deck. Trade weeks-worth of wages for landscaping deals that will make your loved ones weep. Receive a vintage MCM estate sized Gainey that’s the classic nursery design and perfect flowers, decorative vegetables, or a massive yucca (just my style). You don’t have to barter for a divorce-worthy amount of ceramics before you get one for free or extra cheap, but it won’t hurt your odds. Assemble your family of desired planting implements, Italian terracotta or otherwise, and I’ll choose a container or two from the set that you can take home free of charge. Maybe you’ll chose a succulent that looks like a ball and cannot grow year round on the exterior of your local 5280 property, and I’ll toss in a complimentary pot to take it inside your house with. Maybe you choose eight matching pieces of xeriscape planter décor, I can yard sale you one for free as the fruit of your labor, because putting extra macetas on the table is never outside the realm of possibility here. So forget your tablet, save some green, and get value planting and gardening, couch potatoes. Colorado is a desert, and we have to hit the ground running if we want our backyard flower gardens to beam with surplus cacti, vegetable plants, baby climbing plants, and the weights of many, many filled pots.
