Any of various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing a nonmetallic mineral, such as clay, at a high temperature. Usually available in an array of colors, they add a visual pop to your landscape.

Copper
A beautiful metal with an orange hue that will develop a soft green patina over time.

Fade proof
Color resists natural elements of sun, wind, and water to retain its natural hue.

Fiberglass

Sub irrigated

Only the roots are in contact with highly oxygenated and clean water. The dirt on top does not hold the water which helps prevent mold, root rot and other plant diseases.

Terracotta

Terranium
A partly or entirely closed glass container used to house a collection of indoor plants.

UV Resistant

Vinyl
A lightweight and easy to maintain material, vinyl can be painted with latex pain to achieve your desired color.

Wrought iron
