- and
- a removable riser, wherein the removable riser includes:
- a plate that is shaped to conform to the base and that is configured to be supported by an interior of the at least one planter sidewall by an interference fit;
- and
- at least one aperture configured to accept a corresponding hollow support pillar.
A stackable planter, comprising:
- a planter pot configured to be nestable with other matching planter pots, wherein the planter pot comprising:
- at least one planter sidewall integrally formed with a base and extending upwards towards a rim;
