ABSTRACT:
A lockable vegetation pot and saucer is disclosed comprising a plastic pot having a pot base and integral pot sides diverging from the pot base. The pot has a plurality of pot stops extending from the inside surface of the pot sides. The angle of the diverging pot sides enables stacking of the pot with similar pots when the pot base engages the pot stops of an adjacent similar pot. A plurality of locking apertures are located in the pot sides each aperture having a locking side adjacent the pot base. The invention includes a plastic saucer having a saucer base and integral saucer sides diverging from the saucer base. The saucer has a plurality of saucer stops extending from the inside surface of the saucer. The angle of the diverging saucer sides enables stacking of the saucer with similar saucers when the saucer base engages the saucer stops of an adjacent similar saucer. The saucer includes a plurality of tabs extending inwardly from the inside surface of the saucer with each tab having a ramp surface and a locking surface whereby the ramp surfaces cause progressive deformation of the saucer upon insertion of the pot into the saucer until the locking surfaces of the tabs engage the locking sides of the locking apertures and thereby resiliently hold the pot against the saucer base.
