plastic nursery pots

People often ask: Can we recycle plant pots? That question has a surprisingly complex answer (see below). This display at the Connecticut Flower Show caught my eye. Imperial Nurseries of Granby, CT, one of New England's largest wholesale growers, is placing these containers in garden centers so that pots can be reclaimed and remanufactured into other agricultural items. Connecticut, so far, doesn't recycle black horticultural plastics. But many garden centers and nurseries will take back pots they sold.
