ABSTRACT:
A planter box for bathrooms is provided wherein a specially adapted planter structure is constructed for positioning atop the flush tank of conventional commodes in place of the cover therefor. The box includes drainage ports depending from the lower portion thereof for fluid flow communication into the commode tank. The box is constructed to matingly mount atop the commode tank to serve as a lid therefor. The drainage ports thereof are provided with a mesh screen or the like and a replaceable filter to prevent the transfer therethrough of the soil and related material housing the plants therein. A small hand pump is provided in conjunction with the planter box to siphon water from within the commode tank for being dispersed upon the plants within the box. In this manner, selected plants may be displayed and cared for in the bathroom without concern of transferring water thereto and/or the drainage therefrom.
