Morning all.
Can anyone please advise on cheapest place to stock up on garden pots.
I grow my veggies in expensive black buckets but I’m looking for nicer looking containers for wild flowers.
Thanks.

I buy mine from Oakland Gardens on eBay. Plastic, but they look fine, are cheap and arrive quickly.

The best place is 2nd hand! If you have a reuse shop at a local dump they're great for nice garden pots.

Buy and sell pages on fb and car boots are also good.

They are so expensive new from garden centres, I always get them 2nd hand.

Agree that Facebook groups are always a good place to start.

The big discount places like Wilko and B&M also have good bargains.

Go to somewhere like Morrisons - the flowers are delivered in black buckets and they sell the empty buckets for 10p. The buckets are big enough to grow flowers, you just need to poke a couple of holes in the bottom. If you don’t like the look of the buckets you can decorate them.
