Abstract
The present invention includes a plant holding unit for supporting a plant on a generally vertical member. A plant container held by plant holding unit is held below a plane approximately normal to the outer surface of the generally vertical member. The plant holding unit is configured to support a plant container on a generally vertical member. The plant holding unit includes an opening having an axis and a perimeter edge, wherein the axis is approximately perpendicular to the first plane defining a general direction of plant growth. The plant holding unit also includes a barrier extending generally vertically from and attached to the perimeter edge, wherein the barrier forms a water retaining area.
Claims8
A plant holding unit for supporting at least one plant on a generally vertical member, the plant holding unit comprising:
- an opening having an axis and a perimeter rim, the opening aligned along a first plane angled below a second plane approximately normal to an outer surface of the generally vertical member, wherein the axis is approximately perpendicular to the first plane defining an approximate direction of plant growth;
- and,
- a barrier extending generally vertically upward and perpendicular from and attached to the perimeter rim, wherein the barrier extends and surrounds a lower portion of the perimeter rim forming a retaining area to prevent water from escaping.
A plant holding unit for supporting a plant on a generally vertical member, the plant holding unit comprising:
- an opening having an axis and a perimeter edge, the opening aligned along a first plane angled below a second plane approximately normal to an outer surface of the generally vertical member, wherein the axis is approximately perpendicular to the first plane defining an approximate direction of plant growth;
- and,
- a barrier extending generally vertically upward from and attached to the perimeter edge, wherein the barrier extends and surrounds a lower portion of the perimeter edge forming a retaining area to prevent water from escaping.
A system comprising:
- a generally vertical member having at least one growing opening, the at least one opening having a horizontal plane approximately perpendicular to the at least one opening;
- at least one plant holding unit within the at least one growing opening, the at least one plant holding unit including an opening having an axis and a perimeter edge, the opening aligned approximately along a first plane angled below the horizontal plane, wherein the axis is approximately perpendicular to the first plane defining a general direction of plant growth;
- and,
- a barrier extending generally vertically upward and attached to the perimeter edge, wherein the barrier extends and surrounds a lower portion of the perimeter edge forming a retaining area to prevent water from escaping.
