Disclosed herein are a planter apparatus and system. In one aspect, a planter system and apparatus can include one or more planting compartments, a water collection reservoir in fluid communication with at least one of the one or more planting compartments, and a water drainage system configured to drain water from one planting compartment into another planting compartment, drain water from one planting compartment into the water collection reservoir, or drain water from inside the water collection reservoir to outside the water collection reservoir, or a combination thereof. The planter apparatus may be further configured to include a water flow control component configured to: open for the flow of water through the water drainage system, and close, thus stopping the flow of water through the water drainage system based on the engagement and disengagement of a water drainage stopper mechanism at the base of the water drainage stopper. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the disclosed planter devices and systems.

A gardening appliance includes a liner positioned within a cabinet and defining a grow chamber, and a grow tower is positioned within the grow chamber and includes a module support frame including a plurality of vertical support members a plurality of mounting slots. A grow module defines a support body defining a plurality of apertures for receiving one or more plant pods, the grow module further including a plurality of mounting tabs configured for receipt within the plurality of mounting slots to removably mount the grow module to the module support frame.

An automated outdoor modular vertical plant cultivation system forming a vertical structure is provided. The system includes a plurality of shelves, each shelf having a web and flanges; two posts, each post having a web and flanges. Each shelf of the plurality of shelves is mounted between the two posts with incremental spacing between each adjacent shelf along a vertical length of the two posts. The web of each shelf includes a plurality of openings for retaining planter vessels. The flanges of each shelf retain an embedded structural member. The system includes a fluid circulatory system including shelf irrigation piping extending longitudinally above the web of each shelf; and power or power and data and fluid members for the system distributed from vertical risers located in proximity to the web of the posts, wherein the flanges of the shelves have provisions to retain the fluid circulatory system.

The present invention includes a plant holding unit for supporting a plant on a generally vertical member. A plant container held by plant holding unit is held below a plane approximately normal to the outer surface of the generally vertical member. The plant holding unit is configured to support a plant container on a generally vertical member. The plant holding unit includes an opening having an axis and a perimeter edge, wherein the axis is approximately perpendicular to the first plane defining a general direction of plant growth. The plant holding unit also includes a barrier extending generally vertically from and attached to the perimeter edge, wherein the barrier forms a water retaining area.

The present disclosure relates to novel and advantageous systems and methods for growing and installing a tree wherein the roots expand generally radially outward and substantially not down. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a novel and advantageous horizontal root system planter comprising a base structure and a wall, wherein the horizontal root system planter encourages roots of a tree to grow generally radially outwardly and substantially not down. The present disclosure further relates to a tool for tree transporting, digging, and planting operations is provided. The tool may comprise a box and a blade. The blade may be configured for breaking ground and also for supporting a horizontal root system planter

An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner positioned within a cabinet that defines a front display opening and an enclosed back portion. A grow module is rotatably mounted within the liner and include a central hub and a plurality of partitions defining a plurality of grow chambers. The grow module is selectively rotated to index the plurality of grow chambers between a sealed position between the grow module and the enclosed back portion of the liner and a display position aligned with the front display opening. An environmental control system regulates a temperature within the chamber when the chamber is in the sealed position.

The present invention relates to a latticed modular structure for multi-layer planting and, more specifically, to a latticed modular structure for multi-layer planting, comprising: a wall-shaped wire frame in which a plurality of horizontal wires and vertical wires are arranged in a lattice structure; and a plurality of culture containers arranged in layers inside the wire frame, wherein the culture containers are filled with culture soil for plant cultivation or a culture solution for water culture, and thus the structure can be useful for wall greening, which can improve a living environment such as that of an urban space or houses, and for crop cultivation having high space utilization.

A security planter having a camera embedded in a planter to capture and transmit images is disclosed. In some implementations, the device may include a flowerpot having a side wall with an opening, the flowerpot configured to contain a plant and soil. In addition, the device may include a camera device encased within a first housing, the first housing integrally attached to an inner side of the side wall, the camera device configured to capture one or more images of objects disposed adjacent the flowerpot and viewed through the opening, the camera device having wireless transmission circuitry to transmit the one or more images of the captured object. The device may include a power supply disposed in a cavity between a bottom floor and a bottom panel of the flowerpot. Moreover, the device may include a wire extending along the inner side wall to electrically couple the power supply to the camera device.
