Pots left over from fall decorating (Near Reading train station)
All done with your fall planting? Rather than throwing away the stack of pots that your Mums or decorative cabbages came in, give them a second chance. I am looking for plastic gardening pots typically left over for a re-potting project. The target size is a gallon, which is usually about 8 inches in diameter and 7 inches tall. Pots much smaller that this will not be helpful since I have plenty of those to spare. Curb-side or porch pickup preferred. Reply with a street address and I can take it from there. Happy to accept deliveries as well.
