Lift the lid to discover a surprise!

These quirky mushroom jars are entirely hand made and detailed with their own rustic characteristics -  each one of a kind.

A fun take on an ancient watering tool and concept, these sculptural mushrooms ollas work by creating a moist soil zone for plants when the bottom part is buried underground and filled with water.

Due to the naturally porous nature of terracotta, water gradually seeps out from the surface creating a slow supply of moisture to the surrounding soil, directly to the root zone of plants.

Ollas are very sustainable for hot, dry gardens as they help ease evaporation and soil run off, promoting stronger root systems more resistant to extreme temperature fluctuations. By releasing moisture where needed, there is also less risk of fungal issues often associated with excessive top watering.

In short, they help to conserve water, time in the garden and help keep plants happy.

Can also be used with indoor plants (larger pots) or just as a cute jar.

Being handmade, some minor imperfections are to be expected. We celebrate their wrinkles, worts and all! Each piece is made with passion, taking a great amount of time and effort to make, and once gone, they can never be reproduced.
