Resources
Each of these self-watering planters is comprised of interlocking containers, giving them a stable base and an integrated reservoir.
The planters are crafted from terracotta, and the upper containers retain their natural colour. The bases are coloured in green, white and dark brown, highlighting the earth tones of the terracotta containers as they create subtle contrasts. Available in two sizes, the planters can contain a variety of plants, shrubs and small trees. The water reservoir fills from the side, through an opening large enough to be refilled by a waterspout or hose nozzle. The self-watering function is activated when the upper containers absorb water from the bases below them. The containers’ unglazed forms siphon water into the soil they hold, while the bases are glazed to prevent any leakage. The series can create a container garden in an urban setting, or add potted plants to the interior.
