ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a planter or flower pot construction, wherein approximately semicircular planters may be arranged in horizontal courses. The planters of each course are staggered in respect to those of the next lower course in a manner similar to that in which bricks or building blocks are laid up to form a building wall. The basic planter used in erecting the wall has a straight back wall and a front wall curved through approximately 180.degree.. Alternate courses utilize end planters of quarter-circular form. The back walls of the several planters, at top and bottom, are formed with alternating teeth and notches, adapted to interlock with the teeth and notches of the next upper and lower courses. In each course, the planters have drain openings that open into the planters of the next lower course, so that when the plants are watered, excess water in each planter will drain to the next lower course to assure not only proper drainage but also maximum conservation of water. In a modified form designed particularly for plantings of the hydrophilic type, drain tubes are provided, controlling the water level in each planter. Also disclosed is a planter in which the back wall is curved, to permit the erection of walls that are wholly or partially curved.
