Abstract

A planter assembly is provided. The planter assembly includes a grower planter and a shell planter. The grower planter includes an upper distal end. The grower planter includes an upper distal end. The shell planter is structured to enclose said grower planter. That is, when the grower planter is disposed in the shell planter, the grower planter distal end is disposed subjacent to the shell planter distal end. Further, in an exemplary arrangement, a shell planter body sidewall distal end subjacent, inner surface is sized relative to the grower planter body sidewall distal end maximum cross-sectional area to be one of a corresponding size, a closely corresponding size, or a snuggly corresponding size.

Claims (65)

1 . A shell planter for a grower planter, said grower planter including a body with a base member and an upwardly depending sidewall, said grower planter body defining an enclosed space, said grower planter body sidewall including a distal end, said shell planter comprising:

a body including a base member and an upwardly depending sidewall;

said shell planter body sidewall including a distal end;

said shell planter body structured to enclose said grower planter body; and

wherein, when said grower planter body is disposed in said shell planter body, said grower planter body sidewall distal end is disposed subjacent to said shell planter body sidewall distal end.

2 . The shell planter of claim 1 wherein when, said grower planter body is disposed in said shell planter body, said grower planter body sidewall distal end is disposed proximately subjacent to said shell planter body sidewall distal end.

3 . The shell planter of claim 1 wherein when, said grower planter body is disposed in said shell planter body, said grower planter body sidewall distal end is disposed immediately subjacent to said shell planter body sidewall distal end.

4 . The shell planter of claim 1 wherein said grower planter body sidewall is tapered and said grower planter body sidewall distal end has a maximum cross-sectional area, and wherein:

said shell planter body sidewall is tapered, wherein said shell planter body sidewall distal end has a, subjacent, inner surface; and

wherein said shell planter body sidewall distal end subjacent, inner surface is sized relative to said grower planter body sidewall distal end maximum cross-sectional area to be one of a corresponding size, a closely corresponding size, or a snuggly corresponding size.

5 . The shell planter of claim 1 wherein:

said shell planter body base member includes a generally planar portion and a stand-off feature; and

wherein said shell planter body stand-off feature is structured to support said grower planter body above said shell planter body base member planar portion.

6 . The shell planter of claim 5 wherein:

said shell planter body stand-off feature is a platform;

said platform including a planar portion and a depending sidewall; and

said platform sidewall extending between said shell planter body base member planar portion and said platform planar portion.

7 . The shell planter of claim 6 wherein:

said shell planter body sidewall includes a watering aperture; and

said shell planter body sidewall watering aperture disposed above said platform.

8 . A planter assembly comprising:

a grower planter, said grower planter including an upper distal end;

a shell planter, said shell planter including an upper distal end;

said shell planter structured to enclose said grower planter; and

wherein, when said grower planter is disposed in said shell planter, said grower planter distal end is disposed subjacent to said shell planter distal end.

9 . The planter assembly of claim 8 wherein, when said grower planter is disposed in said shell planter, said grower planter distal end is disposed proximately subjacent to said shell planter distal end.

10 . The planter assembly of claim 8 wherein, when said grower planter is disposed in said shell planter, said grower planter distal end is disposed immediately subjacent to said shell planter distal end.

11 . The planter assembly of claim 8 wherein:

said grower planter including a body with a base member and an upwardly depending sidewall;

said grower planter body defining an enclosed space;

said grower planter body sidewall including a distal end;

said shell planter including a body with a base member and an upwardly depending sidewall;

said shell planter body sidewall including a distal end;

said shell planter body structured to enclose said grower planter body;

wherein, when said grower planter body is disposed in said shell planter body, said grower planter body sidewall distal end is disposed subjacent to said shell planter body sidewall distal end;

said grower planter body disposed in said shell planter body; and

wherein said grower planter body sidewall distal end is disposed subjacent to said shell planter body sidewall distal end.

12 . The planter assembly of claim 11 wherein:

said grower planter body sidewall is tapered wherein said grower planter body sidewall distal end has a maximum cross-sectional area;

said shell planter body sidewall is tapered, wherein said shell planter body sidewall distal end has a, subjacent, inner surface; and

wherein said shell planter body sidewall distal end subjacent, inner surface is sized relative to said grower planter body sidewall distal end maximum cross-sectional area to be one of a corresponding size, a closely corresponding size, or a snuggly corresponding size.

13 . The planter assembly of claim 8 wherein:

said shell planter body base member includes a generally planar portion;

said grower planter body base member is generally planar;

one of said shell planter body base member or said grower planter body base member includes a stand-off feature; and

wherein said stand-off feature is structured to space said grower planter body base member above said shell planter body base member.

14 . The planter assembly of claim 13 wherein:

said stand-off feature is unitary with said shell planter body;

said shell planter body stand-off feature is a platform;

said platform including a planar portion and a depending sidewall; and

said platform sidewall extending between said shell planter body base member planar portion and said platform planar portion.

15 . The planter assembly of claim 14 wherein:

said shell planter body sidewall includes a watering aperture; and

said shell planter body sidewall watering aperture disposed above said platform.

16 . The planter assembly of claim 15 wherein said aperture disposed superjacent said platform.

17 . The planter assembly of claim 13 wherein:

said grower planter including a body with a base member and an upwardly depending sidewall;

said grower planter body defining an enclosed space;

said stand-off feature is unitary with said grower planter body;

wherein said stand-off feature includes a number of hollow legs extending downwardly from said grower planter base member; and

each said leg including a passage.

18 . The planter assembly of claim 17 wherein:

said shell planter body sidewall includes a watering aperture; and

said shell planter body sidewall watering aperture disposed above said grower planter base member.

19 . The planter assembly of claim 18 wherein said aperture disposed superjacent said grower planter base member.
