Businesses that sell plants and plant accessories benefited from a surge in plant enthusiasts during the early days of the pandemic. And, since plant care is a long-term investment, related businesses will benefit in the coming years.
Pottery has a higher barrier to entry because it requires a dedicated kiln to fire the clay, which is often costly and takes up space, but you can find community centers or clay studios that rent kilns.
Plant pots similar to pottery can also be made from air-dried clay or cement (poured into a mold) without firing.
🧶 Tips:
Take a pottery workshop or class to learn how to work with clay and get access to a kiln.
Consider other plant accessories like garden markers, hanging planters, watering tips, or window boxes, which can be made from a variety of materials.
Because pottery is one of the more difficult crafts to make and sell, the market is relatively less competitive. But it’s still important to find your own aesthetic so that you can stand out from the crowd.
