ABSTRACT:
A planter box for installation on the top of a narrow horizontal surface includes a lower surface with at least one recessed depression. Each depression comprises serrations around its periphery. A rectangular connector with serrations complementary to the serrations of a respective depression and a downwardly depending peg, is frictionally inserted in each depression. In this manner, when the box rests on the top of the panel, one peg extends downwardly in close relation, but not contacting the panel. A wedge member is provided for each peg, each wedge member including a block with a friction surface to contact a respective wall member side, and a slanted slot to receive a respective peg. As each wedge member slides along a respective peg in a direction parallel to the panel top, the friction surface of each wedge member will be brought into frictional contact with a respective panel side to hold the planter box in place.
