ABSTRACT:
An adjustable collar apparatus and method to encircle a post or botanical item at its base, which collar apparatus comprises a plurality of at least three separate, identical, flat sheet panel elements. Each panel element has a generally arcuate, involute curved inner edge, a generally arcuate outer edge, a top and bottom surface, and first and second side edges, and is characterized by a dimple means positioned toward the first side edge and an elongated depressed area positioned toward the second side edge. The flat panel sheet elements are adjustably arranged in a side-edge, overlapping relationship, with the dimple means of one flat panel sheet element aligned with the elongated depressed area of an adjacent flat panel sheet element to form a collar apparatus about a post or the base of a botanical item. The dimple means is fastened in a snap-fit manner into the elongated depressed area by means of a blister edge formed at the bottom portion of the protruding area of the dimple and depressed area. At least one arcuate edge of the flat panel sheet element has a short, upwardly extending rim to form a continuous, peripheral raised rim for the assembled collar apparatus.
