ABSTRACT:
A plant item package which includes a vessel portion and a lid with an opening. The vessel portion may be at least partially filled with water. Stems of plant items, e.g. herbs, are passed through the opening of the lid and into the water of the vessel. Placing herbs in the vessel maintains the freshness of the herbs, eliminates shrinkage of the herbs, eliminates refrigeration requirements, and increases the shelf life of the herbs. Further, the herbs can continue to grow in the water filled vessel. A cellophane wrapping may also be placed around the herbs outside of the vessel. The herbs can thus be sold in predetermined amounts, and price and/or identification information can be placed on a label placed on one of the wrapping or vessel. Further, a plurality of the vessels can be inserted into a shipping container which can also be used as a display for the vessels.
