So what's going on in ours? Are those plants?

Paul said...

Ha, yeah. What we came up with is an Urban Planter. It's thin, collapsable, and can hold multiple types of plants. The competition allows for these plastic connecting pieces, but we would use them to connect multiple planters together. That way each planter requires NO hardware, and if you want to connect a few together all you need are these cheap plastic clips. It needs to be dressed up a little and make sure we are making the most of the wood, but it's a pretty unique product.

I love the idea, but I too am a little confused about the functionality thing...
