A plant holder and method is disclosed. The plant holder has a connecting surface and a plurality of receptacles. The plant holder is configured to be received in a first pot. Each of the plurality of receptacles is configured to receive a plant-containing second pot. The plurality of receptacles interrupt the connecting surface. The plurality of receptacles each have a receptacle bottom wall and a receptacle sidewall defining a partially enclosed receptacle interior space. The receptacle bottom walls support the plant holder on a first bottom wall of the first pot within a first interior of the first pot. The connecting surface has a peripheral edge configured to face the first sidewall of the first pot.

A plant growing tray system, comprising a plurality of trays sequentially connected to each other via substantially impermeable inter-tray joints. Each of the plurality of trays extends between respective first and second lateral ends and has a respective plant growing space portion vertically recessed relative to respective first and second lateral ends in-between. Each inter-tray joint includes a male part positioned at a first horizontal longitudinal end of a tray and elongated between the respective first and second lateral ends of the tray, a female part complementary to the male part positioned at a second horizontal longitudinal end of an adjacent tray and elongated between the first and second lateral ends of the adjacent tray, and a substantially impermeable interstitial medium configured to be compressed between the male and female parts to generate residual stresses to at least partially support a tray load and mitigate leakage.

A container with integrated channels that provide rapid and simple attachment and removal of interchangeable, modular accessories to the container's exterior. The accessories facilitate attachment of devices to the container. The accessories, when attached to the channels, provide various possible methods to fix the container to any structure or supporting device in any environment.

In one or more implementations, an improved planter and associated base are provided. In one particular implementation, a planter portion is configured to receive a planting medium and one or more plants for implantation into the planting medium, the planter portion having a base, two opposing first sidewalls having a first length and two opposing second sidewalls having a second length, wherein the first and second side walls are joined to the base portion; the base portion and the first side walls having a plurality of passages therethrough, a rim connected to the first and second side walls by a shoulder; and a receiver portion configured to receive the planter portion, the receiver portion having a bottom portion configured with at least one depression disposed therein, a first opposing pair of receiver side walls and a second opposing pair of receiver side walls, the first and second receiver pairs each joined to the bottom portion, a receiver rim connected to the first and second receiver pairs, wherein the first receiver side walls have substantially the same length as the first opposing side walls of the planter portion and the second receiver sidewalls have a length that is greater than the second side walls of the planter portion; wherein upon receiving the planter portion in the receiver portion, the rim of the planter portion lays substantially atop the rim of the base portion and the base of the planter portion lays substantially atop the base of the receiver portion.

A plant-cultivating and protecting apparatus wraps overlapped smaller and larger plant-cultivating media. The plant-cultivating and protecting apparatus includes a cover and a frame. The cover extends around an upper portion of the plant-cultivating medium. The frame extends around a lower portion of the smaller plant-cultivating medium. The frame is formed on the cover in one piece, thereby avoiding detachment of the frame from the cover.

A container for growing plants includes a bottom wall, a first side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall, and a second side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall and parallel to the first side wall such that the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall at least partially define a plant growing chamber. Furthermore, the container includes a lid configured to selectively occlude access to the plant growing chamber. Additionally, the container includes a carrier assembly positioned with the plant growing chamber and movably coupled to the first side wall and the second side wall. Moreover, the container includes a tool coupled to the carrier assembly such that movement of the carrier assembly relative to the first side wall and the second side wall moves the tool within the plant growing chamber.
