Mexican Garden Pottery

Wow, this company has a lot of pottery and a whole lot more.

Driving to find it is a little tricky. Definitely use your GPS. The entrance to the store is technically on W. Laguna St. The main entrance is through the chain link fence. Parking is along W. Laguna St.

I wondered into their shop (which is a small building tucked into the middle of the property). The owner came out of her side office and greeted me and turn me over to her manager. He was very helpful in showing me a variety of interesting item in the office, one of which was a hand crafted/painted figurine from a Mexican artist. It was beautiful. Also in the office were a variety of gift items ranging from a few dollars to over $800 (custom pieces from Mexico). I asked the manager what customers should know about their business. He said they have a large variety of merchandise in lots of shapes, sizes, styles and colors. He also mentioned they were very price competitive because of the large quantities of items they order that they could then pass along the these volume discounts to their customers.

His customer service was excellent. I felt like I was in good hands the moment I met him. We walked a little of the property and I asked a bunch of questions. I couldn’t stump him, he knew the place like the back of his hand and everything in it (I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The company was started in 1999 and is still a family run business). Finally I said I wanted to explore the grounds and he politely let me loose.

What I found was a sea of pots and containers (hi-fire glazed, terra cotta, talevera), chimineas, wrought iron pottery stands and furniture, wooden furniture, decorative ceramic art and small tiles, and even a custom made full size metal stage coach. I’m sure I missed something but walked away thinking that if I was looking for something they’d have it or could get it for me.

Prices range from a few dollars to items costing over $3,000. If you need help lifting something into your vehicle, the staff is there to do so. Larger items can be delivered.
