ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a system for holding plant containers while allowing access to the bottoms of the plant containers for watering purposes. The system includes support 1 having an array of support members 2. The system further comprises a plurality of plant containers 3, each container having in its bottom surface 4 indentations 5 complementary to support members 2 of support
The configuration of support 1 and bottom surface indentations 5 on plant containers 3 is such that, when a plant container 3 is placed on support 1 in an appropriate orientation (herein described as a "retention position", and shown at the bottom left hand corner of FIG. 1), support members 1 engage with the container's bottom surface indentations 5 to provide the plant container with some stability against falling over.
