<p>A free-standing plant support (10) for use with an open-topped plant container (40) for a growing plant. The plant support (10) has a vertical support member (12) that is rigidly and preferably permanently attached at its lower end (22) to an anchor member which extends horizontally away from the vertical support member (12). The anchor member is placed into the base (48) of a plant container (40) which is then filled with a mass of plant growth material (42). The vertical support member (12) is grippable by hand adjacent the upper end (23). The vertical support member cooperates with the anchor member to facilitate lifting and transportation of the container filled with the mass of growth medium (42). The vertical support member (112) also cooperates with a de-mountable horizontal support member made of a resilient springy material to contain and support plant material growing within the plant support (10). The invention also relates to a combination of the plant support (10) with a container (40) for plants.</p> |
