About Root & Vessel
Root & Vessel sells planters and watering cans made by its parent, Novelty Manufacturing Co., at 1330 Loop Road in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The US-made claim covers its plastic lines.
A Lancaster garden-center supplier goes direct
Novelty Manufacturing Co. says it has made home and garden products in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for more than 100 years. For most of that time its planters reached shoppers only through independent garden centers. In 2018 it opened Root & Vessel as its own online store.
For container gardens, the site sends shoppers to its EarthBox store.
Plastic is US-made, stone-and-resin is not stated
Root & Vessel says its plastic planters and watering cans are made in the USA. The product pages for the 2-Gallon Classic Watering Can, the Countryside Railing Planters and the Majestic Full Depth Cylinder Pots each repeat that they are made in the USA, and those are the three items we list.
Its stone-and-resin planters, including the Napa, Ella and Bola lines and the metallic cache pots, have no origin line, and the company does not say where they are made. If origin matters, look for the made-in-USA line on the product page or stick to the plastic pieces.
