I cannot find the bonnie pots on a web site. I need about 50-100 for my garden vegetables. I have searched wal mart and lowes with no luck. I understand they may use your pots for their own plants, but where do I buy the pots to plant my own seeds?

Hello Rose,
We don’t sell these. But I hope you find them at your local Lowes, Home Depot or WalMart. Good luck with the indoor veggie project!

Bonnie Plants have provided me and many of my neighbors here in Montana with LOTS of great veggies and herbs. The grower in this area knows how to have a healthy plant for me to buy each spring, and I look forward to it. It doesn’t hurt that the bio-degradeable really do “melt” into the ground making me feel like I’m making a difference not junking up the landfills more. **Customer 4-life !

I have purchased many bonnie plants in the last two years. Mostly vegetables. Am very displeased. We have raised gardens. Every plant slowly starts to die off. We have been pulling them up to examine the roots. The soil in the pot itself has turned very moldy in each one and will not absorb water. I don’t mean it won’t hold water. They won’t absorb water. The soil is very white with mold and crumbly. Will be lucky if any at all survive. I feel like we should be reimbursed. For us it is a lot of money to lose. We can only tell that the original soil in pots is either contaminated or of very poor grade.

Bonnie’s peat pots are a wonderful innovation, however, don’t be fooled by their “green” message. The reason they grow in peat pots is that it is cheaper than petroleum-based plastic containers. Environmentally friendly peat pots are a fortunate by-product of finding cheaper ways of growing plants. Their plants are still polluted with petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides that are by no means “green”. Bonnie Plants do not care about the environment any more than any other commercial grower. Also, be very cautious in which herbs and vegetables that you purchase from their supply. They dump into the retail garden centers whatever they have. They do no pay any attention to climate zones. For example, they routinely put winter and early spring crops into desert stores where it is already too hot.
