10 Easy Pieces: Portable Concrete Pots

April 12, 2016

Not to fat-shame concrete, but it has an undeniable weight problem. At 135 pounds per cubic foot, a concrete garden pot requires a commitment. You don’t want to change your mind next week and have to haul it to a new spot.

The considerable weight is concrete’s only drawback, however; there’s no better visual backdrop to a green plant than a neutral gray, porous texture.

The solution? Get a small concrete planter—or group together a few—and you won’t have to sacrifice portability. Here are ten of our favorite concrete garden pots, in sizes that range from tiny to small to manageable:
