I used to buy pots from a plastics manufacturer here, but now I get all the pots I could possibly use free, from tiny ones to huge ones for trees, plus flats and mesh trays, from the municipal yard. It accepts yard waste, and other things too. Every day there is active re-use of discards. People drop off bikes, toys, electric appliances - I even saw a breadmaker still in its box - and there is a special big box just for flower pots. I have read that this is done elsewhere, and that people have to pay, but here it is free. Diane Whitehead Victoria, B.C., Canada
