US 10,091,949 B2 · Compact pattern arrangements of live plants

Abstract

This patent regards the design of compact (unitary structures, implantable by themselves, residing non-deployed in small kits, able to be deployed by a single individual, and able to create identifiable meaningful sign by themselves) arrangements of live plants, plant-alike or plant-replacement materials, seedling or seeds by organized pattern seeding of plants or seeds or planting of seedlings of flowers and plants in the soil, or arrangements of plant-replacement or plant-alike material to render small scale plant pattern-designed arrangements in small areas around houses or businesses. To reach this purpose, plants, seeds or seedlings, plant-alike or plant-replacement materials will be planted, raised, arranged and/or cut in a single or multilayer fashioned compact object of good visual resolution translating into a meaningful message of pictorial, geometrical, linguistic, or various other meaningful nature.

A horticultural design kit comprising:

a framework presenting a plurality of spaces in an organized pattern representing a letter, a multiplicity of letters or a pictorial design, said plurality of spaces being adapted to receive a plurality of at least one of plants, plant replacement materials, seedlings, and seeds disposed in said organized pattern for placement for growth in a plant sustainable medium,
wherein the framework includes at least one shade sheet, said shade sheet being formed of a non-organic material having at least a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion and second portion have differing physical characteristics selected from among the group consisting of opacity, thickness and color such that said first and second portions are adapted to permit the passage of different levels of light to penetrate to the level of plants disposed subjacent the shade sheet.

A method of creating an organized pattern of at least one of plants, plant replacement materials, seedlings, and seeds for placement for growth in soil, the method comprising:

providing a plurality of at least one of plants, plant replacement materials, seedlings, and seeds,
providing a framework presenting an organized pattern representing a letter, a multiplicity of letters or a pictorial design,
disposing said plurality of at least one of plants, plant replacement materials, seedlings, and seeds within a plant sustainable medium according to said framework,
wherein providing a framework includes providing a shade sheet formed of a non-organic material having at least a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion and second portion have differing physical characteristics selected from among the group consisting of opacity, thickness and color such that said first and second portions are adapted to permit the passage of different amounts of light to penetrate therethrough, and the disposing step includes disposing the shade sheet above plants disposed in said plant sustaining medium.
