Jeff Trost Planter

My "thing" is a concrete planter with a structural center of hardware mesh. The planter its self is suspended above the wooden base by wires and eye screws set into the concrete. The wires are set into grooves at the top of the base which suspends it free in air. Inside the planter tray are Sedum species which are in a pea gravel aggregate. This planter is meant to sit on a desk, table, or counter and can be transported easily.
