In the second configuration, the removable lid is located in a pocket that is defined by a pocket depth that is a portion of the vertical rise of the at least one tier, a pocket width that is a portion of the horizontal width of the at least one tier and a pocket length that is at least a portion of the horizontal length of the at least one tier.

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.

Disclosed are embodiments of an apparatus for displaying and watering vegetation, which watering can be automated. The apparatus can include a base portion, a support member coupled with the base portion and extending generally upwardly away from the base portion, a bracket, a tray supported by the bracket, a container, at least one conduit in fluid communication with the container and configured to communicate a liquid from the container to the tray, and a pump comprising electronic circuitry configured to control an operation of the pump. The pump can be configured to pump a liquid from the container through the conduit to the tray to water at least one plant that can be supported by the tray.

Disclosed is a dynamic non-piercing tactile and manipulable suspension system for suspending target items such as fruit including but not limited to bananas both in hands and individually. An integration housing comprises one or more suspension strands coupled to the integration housing on one end and one or more suspension contacts on the other end, the suspension strand and coupled suspension contact being capable of suspending (without piercing) a hand of bananas and/or a single banana.

One embodiment of an apparatus having plurality of stands includes a central stand member 3600H at middle; a plurality of peripheral stand members including a plurality of peripheral stand members wherein each peripheral stand member 3700A further including a horizontally elongated stand 3701A fastened to the central stand member 3600H, and a plurality of peripheral stand members wherein each peripheral stand member 3716 further including the horizontally curved stand 3717 mounted between and fastened to one peripheral stand member 3700A at left and other peripheral stand member 3700A at right; and an electrical system 3800D being installed in the central stand member 3600H and in each peripheral stand member 3700A of the plurality of peripheral stand members for lighting plurality of light bulbs being mounted on plurality of peripheral stand members and for operating water fountain on top of the central stand member 3600H. Other embodiments are described and shown.

A display container for a botanical sample includes (a) an enclosure having an interior chamber for storing the botanical sample; (b) a plurality of scent ports extending through a wall of the enclosure between the interior chamber and environment; (c) a plug mounted to the enclosure and sealing the scent ports, the plug movable away from the enclosure to expose the scent ports for facilitating sampling of an aroma of the botanical sample when in the enclosure; and (d) an elongate mounting projection in the chamber for retaining the botanical sample thereon.
