a collection of pretty and colorful planters

Spring means planting! But if the weather has been uncooperative and your garden is too cold or muddy to work in, exercise your green thumb with a little container gardening.

Try transplanting a pot-bound houseplant or starting flowers from seed. Nurture succulent cuttings or give your heirloom tomatoes a head start. Whatever you choose to grow, there’s a garden pot that will show off your plant perfectly.

Since garden planters come in a huge variety of styles, colors and sizes, it’s easy to find a planter for every gardener and type of plant.

We’re highlighting a few of our favorite flower pots, but we encourage you to browse our extensive collection of garden planters for more fantastic container gardening ideas.
