Abstract
A carrier tray for carrying multiple plant pots includes a plurality of sockets for receiving plant pots, where the sockets include a first set of planar areas, arranged alternately and with a second set of planar areas, with a concertinaed section provided between each planar area of the first set and of the second set. The first set of planar areas are of variable geometry and can be urged from a first, kind angle to the vertical when the socket is unfulfilled, to a second, smaller angle to the vertical when a pot is inserted into the socket.

A tray for carrying plant pots, comprising:
- a top, a base, an outer periphery, and a plurality of sockets each of which can receive a plant pot;
- wherein the sockets each comprise:
- a socket base, undersides of the socket bases collectively forming the base of the tray;
- a first set of contact areas, each of which extend from the top of the tray part way towards the socket base and is for contacting a side wall of a plant pot inserted into a respective socket, and
- a second set of recessed areas, each of which extend from the top of the tray to the socket base;
- wherein the contact areas of the first set are arranged alternately with recessed areas of the second set, and wherein a concertinaed section is provided between a one contact area of the first set of contact areas and an adjacent one recessed area of the second set of recessed areas;
- and
- wherein, when the tray is in a first, unfulfilled state, when a plant pot is not present in a respective socket, the first set of contact areas are each arranged at a first angle to a central vertical axis through a central point of the socket, and when the tray is in a second filled state, when a plant pot has been fully inserted into the respective socket, the first set of contact areas are each arranged at a second angle to the central vertical axis of the socket, wherein the second angle is less than the first angle.
