G R E AT E R N A S H V I L L E H O U S E & H O M E & G A R D E N ™ 16 pots on parade T he history of pots, as they pertain to gardening, is long. Through the centuries, the use of flowerpots has influenced the hor cultural use of plants. The Egyp- ans were among the first to use pots to move plants from one loca- on to another. The Romans brought poed plants in- side during cold weather, and in the 18th cen- tury, pots were used to ship breadfruit seedlings from Tahi to the West Indies. Orchids, African violets and Pelargonium geraniums were shipped in pots from other parts of the world, including Africa, to North America and Europe. Pots have taken their shapes and styles from the architecture around them, from the materials avaiable, and from the needs of the gardeners who use them. Today's pots are as varied as their prececessors and can be as modern or as tradional as the user chooses. ◆ At le, Palmeo Planters.
