ABSTRACT:
A floating planter box comprises a polyhedral planar base member of a synthetic foam resin less dense than water. A pair of frame members sandwich the base member with one on the top and one on the bottom surface thereof. Side members surround the frames and base member and connect the frame members to hold the base member between the frames. The lower frame member has optional bracing members to strengthen that member. The planter displaces sufficient water to float the unit with the contained volume formed by the top surface and side members filled with soil and plants. An optional anchoring means hold the planter in place on a water surface.
