Does anyone have a need for used 1 gallon plant pots? We currently still have an excess at our Beban Learning Garden location. Free!

We can provide anywhere between 5 and 350 at this time.

There are typically smaller amounts of mixed pots at our pot re-use/share station outside our gate, all of the time. If you want more than a few let us know. And we can let you know if we can accommodate!

Or show up at a work party. Wed & Sat 10- 12 or Mon 4-6 and we can help you out.
