[email protected] Handmade in England 10 year Frostproof Guarantee Family Business Since 1976 Welcome! Visiting When I started making flowerpots 37 years ago everyone thought that I was mad: those old handmade pots were considered to be a thing of the past, completely out-of-date, made obsolete by the brave new world of shiny plastic and cheap imports; and anyway, why slog away making by traditional methods when you could invest in easy labour-saving technology? We are lucky to be working in such a beautiful place and look forward to sharing it with you. You’ll find us in picturesque Whichford village, which nestles amongst rolling Warwickshire hills. Here you will find a wider range of pots than we are able to squeeze into this catalogue or on our website. You can explore our workshops, wander around our pretty Courtyard Garden with its wealth of planting ideas, and browse in The Octagon (see back cover) where you will discover a range of British handmade crafts. We are open: Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm Sat & Bank Hols 10am - 4pm Sun (24 Mar to 15 Dec) 11am - 4pm Don’t forget our special events throughout the year. See our website for full details. Discerning gardeners worldwide have helped my team to prove that some of the more absurd maxims of modernisation need not apply to those with common sense and a good eye for quality and design! Thank you and happy gardening. 2 Jim Keeling Jim working on a new design (see pages 6 & 7) A glimpse of our stockyard at the Pottery 33 Which Pot?

Our pots help you grow your own in style. Our traditional forcers are essential for sweet, tender rhubarb and tasty seakale. Big enough to allow the stems to elongate and heavy enough not to be knocked over by expanding leaves, they make a fine focal point in the garden even when not in use.
