ABSTRACT:
A modular landscaping system variable in size and configuration usable when making shrubbery and flower beds for masking ground surface surrounding bed plants, for permitting watering of the plants from a single location, and for enhancing the aesthetic characteristics of ground surfaces in the beds. The system comprises a plurality of interlocking plastic plates, each having one or more plant holes through which plants may extend. Each plant hole is surrounded by a flared collar which collars a plant's stalk several inches above ground level. The collar is designed to be adjustable in size for use with differently sized plants. Each plate has a raised rim along the portions of its periphery which are not interlockable with other plates. In the assembled system, the rims of the plates collectively form a liquid retaining barrier which, in combination with the number of small seepage holes passing through each plate near the plant holes, allows the plants within the system to be watered from one location. The system includes end plates which may interlock with each other or with intermediate plates to allow widely varying sizes and configurations for the overall system. The plates are decorativley shaped to enhance the aesthetic aspects of the area in which they are used.
