Terracotta Pots and Seedlings in Benguela Garden Center

Rows of unglazed terracotta pots stack neatly on metal racks, their rough, reddish-brown surfaces absorbing the soft gray light filtering through the skylight. Small green seedlings in plastic trays sit between the stacks, their leaves pale against the dark soil. Misting bottles with translucent blue caps rest on the lower shelves, condensation beading on their sides. The cool stillness of the pre-dawn hour hangs over the display zone, casting quiet, elongated shadows along the concrete walls. Faint reflections of the overhead structure appear on the smooth plastic surfaces of the seedling trays. one drop of water rolls down the curve of a terracotta rim, tracing a dark path into the soil below.
