My Shop, Contained Exuberance, Re-Opens for Spring 2022

We await the official start of spring on Sunday, March 20, at 8:33 a.m. in Portland and the Pacific Northwest.

Meteorologically speaking, the official first day of spring started March 1st. I proclaim the first day of spring is when I re-open my Shop! So, let it begin this Friday, March 4, 2022!

Contained Exuberance, my Shop next door to @xeraplants is open Fridays & Saturdays, 10am-5pm.

Pallets of pottery are unpacked and the Shop is filled with exciting new glazed earthenware, terra cotta, cast stone (cement), and lightweight polyresin pots in beautiful colors/patinas and textures.

Plan to visit. The best selection is in spring (particularly now with pandemic supply chain slow downs).

After our cold snap last week, Portland continues it cheerful, energetic creep into spring. Witch-hazels in my home garden, Harborton Hill, have faded after a month-long ride, but cyclamen, hellebores, winter honeysuckle, Arctostaphylos (manzanita), viburnums, and early flowering plums are in full bloom.

The Pacific Northwest offers a gentle ride into full-on SPRING.

Stylish, Weatherproof Garden Pots

By

I sell an artful selection of outdoor and interior garden pottery and decor in my Portland shop Contained Exuberance. All pots are NOT created equal in craftsmanship and durability throughout the 4 seasons. The old adage “you get what you pay for” rings true.  I strive to offer quality garden pottery at affordable pricing and I extend a 20% trade discount to landscape and garden professionals.

At my shop, you’ll find pots in contemporary forms, textures, and colors to suit your personal tastes and style. If you don’t see it in on the floor, you can browse catalogs and place custom orders with several companies that I represent. Here are some POT STYLES that I am particularly excited about this season.

CAST STONE from Campania International, a U.S. company that has designed and manufactured cast stone pottery at its facility in Pennsburg, PA, since 1983.

What’s new? Realistic cast stone barnboard troughs and planters. Guaranteed not to rot!

GLAZED EARTHENWARE imported through Campania International’s Pacifica program.  Manufactured in Vietnam and China.

What’s new? Art pottery and Angkor collections of glazed, sanded pots from Vietnam in a variety of color plays.

LIGHTWEIGHT polyresins, fiber cement, recycled plastics, and hypertufa.

What’s new? Playa Blanca fiber cement pots in beautiful shapes AND hand cast stone pots (aka “hypertufa”) beautifully crafted by Camas, WA-based potter Claire Bandfield of apotspot.

TERRA COTTA. Campania’s line of Antico terra cotta in contemporary forms and surface textures.

What’s new? Handspun linen pots, tela bowls, and antique lattice baskets.
