ABSTRACT:
A planter (10) from which plants can be easily removed without inverting and shaking same is disclosed. The planter (10) is comprised of a base member (14), a plurality of side panels (12) surrounding the base member (14), a plurality of support blocks (20) attached to the side panels (12) to support the base member (14), and straps (16) attached to adjacent side panels (12). Because of this construction, removal of a plant from the planter (10) is accomplished by the selective removal of fasteners (18) from one side panel (12) allowing this side panel to be swung outwardly about the straps (16) permitting access to the plant.
In an alternate embodiment, a planter (40) has removable side panels (42) which are interconnected by means of dowel pins (48) received through adjacent side panels (42) and a connecting post (44) interposted therebetween. In still another embodiment, a seedling tray (30) having a plurality of compartments (32), each of which has a door (34) for access thereto, is disclosed.
