Large outdoor plant pots wanted

Hi

Can anyone tell me where I can get 2 large outdoor plant pots from. I want to place them by the front entrance to my house.

    Saw some other day at a garden centre. I would expect most garden centres to sell them

    Places like Wilkos, Morrisons, poundland sell pots too but probably not large pots

    When you say large just how big do you mean? I bought one in tesco on saturday which said £20.00 on the shelf but when I paid it was £10.00 and then they have 20% gardening this weekend so it came down to £8.00

    If you're thinking of buying the terracotta type then have a look at this...

    Watch out for the phrase 'Frost Resistant' on the pots. It's one of those worthless slogans and definitely not the same as Frost Proof. I seem to remember that there's a British firm who do frostproof pots but they're relatively expensive. ('Yorkshire something-or-other'? Try Google)
    Never put a large terracotta pot directly on level ground: put terracotta feet under it to keep it free-draining. Standing it on gravel is OK.
