exterior

Materials: Synthetic wood Soil Two small trees Two perennials Inner basket

Interior (drainage system)

Plant baskets with drains Cutouts that drained water exits from

How the drainage system woks The planter has a double layer, the inside layer is what involves the drainage system. The inside layer holds the soil and the plant. The bottom of this layer is colander-like, as it has many small holes. As rain falls into the planter, some will be absorbed and the excess will fall through the bottom of the inside layer. When the excess water falls through it will pool between the layers, and exit the planter through the holes in the exterior layer.
