Mini plant pots (made from Dorset waste)
Theses mini plant pots are quite the charm! Not only is they a colourful way to display your favourite plants, but they are made from waste that’s collected by the maker, from the streets and beach from Dorset where she lives. Help to make the areas safer for wildlife and marine creatures.
Choose from green, blue or peach colours. Once discarded and now redesigned, these pots are hand-poured with care, the subtle swirls of colour tell a quiet tale of transformation.
Keep unsafe flowers away from pets
Many plants (including sago palm) and flowers are unsafe near pets, so be aware of this before buying/growing flowers, or gifting to others. PDSA has tips for pet-safe gardens. Find lists of plants/flowers that are toxic to:

Where to recycle plastic plant pots
Enter your postcode at Recycle Now (some garden centres accept them). Black plant pots (like black bin bags) can’t be recycled, as sorting machines don’t recognise the colour, so they have to go in your bin.
Each year, over 500 million plastic plant pots (and trays) are thrown away in the UK, generating waste at landfills or incineration depots. Yet most councils don’t accept them, due to being ‘contaminated with soil’.
Recycled plastic coasters
The matching coasters are ideal to brighten up desks and coffee tables, also made from waste. The swirling patterns echo coral reefs, and no batches are the same. Sold in sets of four.
