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.
