We have chosen plastic containers as they are lightweight, durable, and long lasting. This allows us to deliver large pots to you without worrying about your ability to move them around the patio. Our containers are also from a Dutch company, Elho, who manufacture high quality plastic plant containers from recycled materials, using 100% wind energy for their manufacturing process. The plastic holding pots that the plants originally come in can be reused for cuttings and future transport of plants.
