ABSTRACT:
A vertical planter for supporting a plurality of plants vertically. The planter includes a hollow column mounted vertically on a water reservoir. The hollow column is fabricated from one or more column modules which are filled with a planting medium. A plurality of planting ports are formed in the wall of the hollow column to provide access for plants to be planted in the planting medium. Planter inserts can also be attached to the planting ports, the planter inserts supporting a body of the planting medium on the external surface of the hollow column. A water distribution system is provided for delivering water to the planting medium and includes a secondary reservoir with a distribution line distributing the water into the planting medium. Moisture sensors and an optional timer drive a pump to deliver the water from the water reservoir into the water distribution system.
