Southern California loves its strip malls. Some times i think there are 3 strip malls for every person over the age if 12. Strip malls plus year round good weather means lots of large pots to bring some green to suburbia. But most of those large pots are planted with such an uninspired collection of plants that I wish some shopping centers would just forgo the pots all together.
Uninspired planter in Southern California
For example, this pot that I saw near the post office. How more uninspired can you get? I am sure I could do better for the same amount of money. And to prove it, I am going to research how much these plants likely cost, and post my alternative on Sunday, that uses plants that cost the same or less.
Have you seen any uninspired pots? Feel free to gossip about them in the comments. This just might be the only kind of gossip that isn’t mean or unethical.

So true! I see ugly planters all the time – mostly at gas stations -ugh! I wish they wouldn’t even bother. -Jackie
Fern,
I recognized that pot before I even read where it was. Why don’t you contact Pabs and Kinney and let them know how you can help them lease that spot.
BTW, I need to replace the platform under some of my pots. I had a few wooden ones with wheels that I liked, but they literally split in half. They were about $30 each. I like to raise my pots off the concrete for two reasons. I don’t like staining my concrete and I thought it would help the pot drain better. Can you suggest any reasonably priced ideas.

Gosh I guess I really never took notice until you mentioned it. I live in So Cal and strip malls seem to be a each corner. Now I will really have to look.
Fug… I see a potential client… They need you desperately!
