When shopping for a good planter, local home improvement centers or department stores are good places to start. These stores usually have several kinds of pots, and at affordable prices. However, not all pots are the same and there are many important benefits to consider with high quality Italian terra cotta planters (also called terracotta) for landscape and home use.
Special Clay
Few things can match the look and feel of finely crafted earthenware. In fact, some of the highest quality pots are made from Galestro clay, and this clay is not just common clay found in the earth. Galestro clay can only be found in the Tuscany region of Italy, and is considered to be one of the finest clay materials on the planet. With rich texture, denseness, and unique color, Galestero is highly prized for all kinds of pottery.
Producing fine Italian Galestro terracotta planters is a slow process, and much of the work is done by hand. After shaping, the pots are allowed to dry for a long time before being exposed to high temperatures. Galestro pots are so well-made, each pot will last a lifetime when properly cared for.
Cold Weather Resistant
Fine Galestro clay is resistant to frost, and this feature is very important for anyone keeping planters out of doors in cold weather. In fact, pots will be safe from freezing in temperatures as low as -15F.
Large Selection of Fine Terra Cotta Planters
How about a rustic looking landscape or perhaps a classic style planter with its warmth and elegance? Because a Galestro pot is shaped from raw materials, a huge variety of shapes, sizes, and forms are possible. No matter what your garden décor and landscape design, a finely made earthenware planter will fit in with few problems.
How about something reminiscent of centuries ago? Ornate styles are made to look like they came from ancient civilizations with timeless splendor. For modern décor, there are plenty of fine selections to discover when shopping for contemporary design terra cotta pots.
