FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most of our glazed outdoor pottery arrives in wintertime, with the best selection generally being available between January and February. Not many folks are really thinking about big beautiful pots for their yard that time of year, but, if you'd like first pick, that's the best time to stop by and shop the new collection!
We admit it: our selection of outdoor pottery is not perfect.
And there’s a very good reason for that! While customers sometimes express concern about the variations they see in our pottery, we want you to know that each of these pieces is hand-made and one of a kind. Those “flaws” are actually one of the reasons we love carrying this pottery: They are signs of the human touch in a process that creates some of the highest quality containers and statuary around.
While we carry a lot of local plants, supplies, and art at Sky, our large containers make quite a journey to get here. We choose to buy these containers despite the additional challenges of shipping them because we believe in the quality of craftsmanship.
Click here for a behind the scenes video from our Pacific Home & Garden partners showing how each piece of pottery is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand. We think you’ll agree that these pieces aren’t so much “imperfect” as they are “beautifully unique.”
Depending on the size of the container, you can plant a LOT of things inside. It really depends on how much work you want to invest in maintaining the container. For example, most trees, shrubs and perennials will need root trimming or dividing with in a year or two of being planted. But, certain smaller perennials and grasses can live for years after being planted without needing additional care. Annuals of course, are the powerhouses of any container, adding color and repeating blooms.
