Rick Anderson, the company’s president relates, “We are bullish on the nursery industry nationally and in the northwest specifically. Anderson Pot sales have definitely benefited from the growing desire to buy local.

The Portland, Oregon firm has announced it is going into production on a new lower price #15 field pot that will greatly strengthen Anderson’s competiveness in the black nursery container market.
Additional new designs are planned. All the new pots will be produced of premium recycled plastic blends designed to offer both superior strength and moderate price.
