A raised bed garden and sandbox system comprised of rails and connectors, where the rails are connected to each other via a hinge-like system and joined by the insertion of tubular connectors that are circular in cross-section and open at one end to allow the insertion of a framework for a cover. A structure to support a cover is described, consisting of multiple cross-members, where one end of each cross-member is inserted into a connector and the other end of the cross-member is inserted into the opposite connector. An alternative design for a structure to support a cover is described, where for each cross-member one end is inserted into a connector and the other end is inserted into a central hub. A pattern is described to ensure that the raised bed garden or sandbox is arranged into a regular polygon. A heating element consisting of an electrical resistor arranged in a plane is described, as well as an planar insulator sized to fit the raised bed garden. An improvement in the design of a blow-molded rail provides higher quality and shorter cycle time by forming a partial bushing in the male end of the rail instead of a full bushing.

A plant holder with an elongated column, first and second brackets dimensioned and configured for engaging axial parts of the elongated column, a plurality of arms each having a first axial extremity extending radially from the elongated column at axially parts thereof. Each first extremity of each arm is fixed to the elongated column and each of the arms has an upstanding second axial extremity. An elongated beam has an axial part thereof carried on each of the upstanding second axial extremities of each of the arms in a manner that allows pivotal motion of the elongated beam with respect to the upstanding second axial extremity. First and second receptacles are carried on respective axial extremities of the elongated beam.

A simulated tree trunk planter, comprising: a simulated tree trunk such that the simulated tree trunk includes a natural appearance located on an outer surface of the tree trunk; wherein a lower end of the trunk includes a stabilizing plate operatively connected at one side to the lower end of the tree trunk and a tree anchor operatively connected at one end to the other side of the stabilizing plate; wherein the upper end of the trunk includes a simulated tree trunk planter receptacle having receptacle retainers, a receptacle lattice operatively connected to the receptacle retainers, and foliage such that the foliage is retained in place by the receptacle retainers and the receptacle lattice; and a plurality of attachment panel systems located on a section of the tree trunk, wherein a plurality of trunk attachments is secured to the tree trunk through the use of the attachment panel systems.

A plant pot 1 comprises a bounding wall 2 formed by a side wall 3 and a bottom 5 and includes a gel space 7 in which swellable gel grains 9 are accommodated filling the gel space in swollen state.

The plant pot further includes a substrate space 11 in which a substrate, for example, soil is accommodated. A bounding wall portion 2A, 2B bounds a part of the second space 11. Drainage openings 13 are located in the bottom 5 of this bounding wall portion 2B next to the gel space 7.

The first space 7 is partly bounded by a further bounding wall portion 2D, 2E of the bounding wall 2. Aeration openings 14 are located in this further bounding wall portion.

The gel grains 9 are contained in a pad which further includes a flexible separation sheet 15 which forms a root-permeable separation between the gel and soil during use.

The multi-stacking decorative flowerpot unit (1) comprising: a pole (2) extending vertically, a plurality of flowerpots (3) having a through hole (3a), which is formed in a bottom part of the flowerpot (3) in order to pass the pole (2) though the flowerpot (3), and a spacer (4) having a cylindrical shape and being placed between adjacent upper and lower flowerpots (3). And the pole (2), the flowerpot (3), and the spacer (4) are united by passing the through hole (3a) and the spacer (4) through the pole (2). This configuration makes it possible for many plants to be placed in a small space such as a room. And work efficiency and workability are improved, and the flexibility of its design and the quality of its display are enhanced by this invention.

A planter kit may include a pan with a top surface and a wall extending upward from the top surface. A container may include a base and a wall extending upward from the base. At least one opening may be defined by the base. Multiple supporting members may be detachably coupled to the base. At least one of the supporting members may be tubular and configured to extend at least partially into the opening of the base of the container, thereby enabling fluid to pass from the container to the pan. At least one of the supporting members may include a horizontal support member. An object may provide external design to the container, and may rest on the horizontal support member. When a portion of the object rests on the horizontal support member, the portion is below the bottom surface of the base of the container and above the pan.

An agricultural yield pod or agricultural yield pad with holed root membrane overlay. The agricultural yield pod encloses soil and vegetation in the soil. The top of the agricultural yield pod is closed except for at least one water and nutrition port and at least one vegetation growth port (or neck). The trunk of the vegetation passes through the at least one vegetation growth port (or neck). The agricultural yield pad is closed by the holed root membrane overlay and contains soil and vegetation in the soil. The trunk of the vegetation passes through the holes in the holed root membrane overlay. Root direction channels 38 may be beneath the overlay.

A planter having a continuous sidewall with an inner surface and an outer surface forming a container with a top and a bottom end, an internal floor flange extending inwardly from the inner surface of the sidewall proximate a bottom end of the container, and a lip extending upwardly from the flange, the lip defining a drainage aperture at the bottom end of the container, a drainage channel formed by the internal floor flange, the lip, and the sidewall, a plurality of apertures in the sidewall in communication with the drainage channel; and, a removable floor arranged to rest on the lip having a plurality of inner floor apertures arranged to drain liquid via the drainage aperture, and a plurality of outer floor apertures arranged to drain liquid via the drainage channel and the plurality of apertures in the sidewall.
