My dog recently passed away and it absolutely broke my heart. He was 24 years old and has been with me for half my life. I came across a gardenia plant the next day called heaven scent at the garden center. It was a sign that this plant needed to come home with me. I wanted to make sure I could get a very large pot so it had the best chance of living a long life just like my dog did. I love that these planters come in very large sizes, and are still somewhat affordable. The plastic is thick, so I don’t have to worry about it warping or breaking down. Definitely recommend.
