Hi There,

I just moved to Lamma and I'm starting to put together my Balcony garden.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy some nice pots - perferrably ceramic or terracotta. And also the best place to buy plants?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks
Kate

There are nice salmon colored plastic pots available on main street. I haven't seen too many terracotta/ceramic pots available on lamma itself, but they are available on hk island. For a shaded balcony, terracotta might work alright, but for rooftop I think they would get very hot as well as wick away moisture.

some small plants are for sale on main street, but they look somewhat pitiful. Herboland near the beach has some small trees/herbs for sale. If you want things like ficus or orchids etc, better to buy them from flower market, one of the nurseries, or any number of flower/plant shops located around hong kong. If you work in central, there are 2 right near each other near lyndhurst terrace.
