My son manages a really interesting business called Garden Essential. It’s located in the old Zen Garden greenhouse on the frontage part of Monterey here in Gilroy. Their address is: 5350 Monterey Rd. They’re on the left and you park outside the gate. If you want to give them a call, their number is 408-842-5497. You’ll get Joseph.
This place is amazing! It’s got tons of big pots, beautiful statuary, small pots, medium pots, small all the way to large water fountains, bowls you can use for ponds, and more. It’s fun to walk around and see everything they have.
They prices are already marked 70% off retail so you’ll always get a great deal. If you’re a business and have a resale number, you can buy in quantity at wholesale prices.
I own one of their fountains with a ball and it’s truly gorgeous. I can’t wait to get more stuff. I have plans for a pond using one of their big ceramic bowls. Expand your notions of big - some of these bowls are the size of small man-made ponds. Go see for yourself! Tell Joseph you read about the store at his mom’s blog, “Best Of The South Bay”. I don’t get anything for directing traffic there - other than the joy of having nice people walk into my son’s work place and say, “Your mom told me this store was great!” ![]()

Man oh man, I’m just going to have to drive up to get me some, too.
Their slogan should be
“Discount Pots is What We Gots”
And other stuff, too
