KBK Garden Center stocks flowerpots and planters for the spots a garden bed can’t reach: the front step, the deck rail, the corner of the patio. Decorative pots, porch pots and hanging baskets, sold planted and ready to set out or empty for you to fill. Containers move. Swap the plants each season and put color exactly where you want it.
As a licensed nursery grower, we now raise some of the perennials that go into our pots in the greenhouse we built on site in 2025, alongside the seasonal flowers on the benches. If you have been typing flowerpots for sale near me from Saline or Ann Arbor, start at our shop on Michigan Ave.
A planted basket or porch pot is a small garden in one container: the pot, the soil and a mix of plants picked to fill in and trail. Ours use varieties like petunias, bacopa, calibrachoa and trailing verbena that hold up through Michigan’s summer heat.
Rather build your own? Pick up an empty basket or pot, a bag of garden soil and the plants, and put the combination together at home.
A pair of planters on either side of the door is the quickest way to make an entry look finished. Go a size bigger than you think. A pot that looks right on the shop floor shrinks next to a full-size door, and on the Old West Side in Ann Arbor, where porches sit close to the sidewalk, a tall pair does a lot of work.
Window boxes put color at eye level from inside the house as well as from the street. Trailing plants spill over the front edge, upright ones fill the back. Tell us which way the window faces and we will suggest a mix for sun or shade.
A single large planter at the end of a path or the entry to a seating area makes a natural focal point, and you can change the planting each season without disturbing the beds around it. Pair it with bird baths, statuary or a bench from the décor side of the shop.
Glazed outdoor ceramic has a weight and finish plastic can’t match. Weathered wood, aged metal, stone-look finishes and textured concrete suit a farmhouse or cottage-garden look. Either way, bring ceramic into a garage or basement before winter. Freeze-thaw cycles crack it.
Bring a photo of the spot and a rough measurement. We start with three questions: how much sun it gets, how big the space reads from the street, and how often you will realistically water.
From there we pull the pot, the soil and the plants together so it all goes home as one planting. Want more than a pot? Our in-house garden and landscape design work covers the beds around it, and KBK Landscaping can install larger plantings.
Every basket, porch pot and decorative planter comes either planted and ready to place or empty for your own mix.
Ask what will survive a south-facing stoop in July or a shady north porch. Expert advice costs nothing here.
Containers, bagged soil and the plants to fill them are on the same lot, so one stop covers the whole planting.
We keep restocking as the season turns, from spring color through fall mums, so the selection changes from visit to visit.
What flowerpots and planters cost depends on size, material and whether the pot comes planted, so we don’t post a list online. Fair pricing is one of the things we hold ourselves to. Call 734-944-8644 for the current price on a specific pot, planter or basket.

Scale is everything with containers. A planter that looks right in the store can look small once it sits on a large porch or next to a full-size front door. For entryways and porches, go a size larger than you think you need. For accent spots along a path or inside a bed, a modest size works. Tell us where it is going and we will help you pick something proportional.
For summer, petunias, calibrachoa, zinnias, sweet potato vine and ornamental grasses are reliable. In spring, pansies and snapdragons handle cool temperatures. In fall, mums, ornamental kale and asters carry containers deep into October. Our staff can build a combination for your light and how much upkeep you want.
Yes. Pre-planted baskets come filled and blooming, so you can hang them the day you buy them. We also sell empty baskets and the individual plants if you would rather make your own. Both are available through the season while supplies last.
More often than plants in the ground. Containers hold a limited amount of soil and dry out faster. In peak summer heat most outdoor pots need water every day or every other day. Self-watering planters can stretch that if daily watering is not realistic for you.
Yes. Design work is done in-house, and installation is available through KBK Landscaping, so we can help with anything from a pair of porch pots in Saline to a full bed redesign in Ann Arbor.
