I love head planters. I look for them wherever I go.

These came from Big Lots. They were not expensive.

If you have a CVS drug store near by check these out. They are not big but they also are not expensive. I think I paid 6.00 for this one.

My local nursery was selling these. They were 60.00 for the big ones which are about 4' tall and about 36" round.

Susan @gardenersdetective , I am so impressed that is what I had in mind. Where did you get them? How big are they, do they have drainage holes and is the base large enough to support it well so it will not easily blow over?

Yes I own them all & am embarresed to say I have more that I didn't post. Most but not all are resin. A good time to find them on eBay & Tuesday Morning is February. I have also bought them from Homegoods & TJ MAXX. St Louis is booming with Nurseries that sell them too usually concrete & expensive.

Usually they have a hole but when they don't I carefully drill one. I have sizes between 6" to 2'. I have various stands ( Big Lots for iron stands) and make sure they are very secure. I place those in protected spots and admittedly had a couple blow over. Luckily they were the least expensive & you can put the broken part so it's not seen or pop in a succulent where it is broken.

Susan your pottery taste is impeccable. I love them all.

I was coming here today to say I saw them at Tuesday Morning yesterday. They were between 45-65. Not a bad price since it looks like they want so much for them on line and they would cost so much more if you add shipping to the price.

Thanks Cinta, I am backing off as we plan to move next year. I would love to see pics of what they have this year because I can't trust myself to go there. Green Grin! Can't chance the addiction from taking over.
