Gainey Ceramics for nearly fifty years has been innovating force in the manufacturing of high end ceramic planters. Starting as a small job shop in Inglewood California just down the street from Los Angeles International Airport, the company began as a producer of crockery and pet feeders. By the late 50’s Gainey began adding to its crockery production with ceramic planters sold to the retail garden nurseries across the country. With the growth of the interior plant industry, Gainey pioneered functional, interesting plant containers becoming the choice of professional architects, landscapers, interior and exterior designers."
