Patterned Planter
seemed the best way to solve my problem. I currently have a second run
setting but this simple and easy method serves its purpose for now.
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.

The planter was constructed using wire, wood and cement with aggregate. A three-layer foam mold was made to create the body of the planter. Wire was cut and then bent to fit inside the cavity and holds the pebbles in place. Sedum vegetation is woven between the wire frame. The cement body is held upright by a wooden platform and base.

My vessel's whole structure is like a cuboid, which consists of a concrete base and a wooden frame. The wire mesh box with plants on each side is inset into the box-like structure. The vessel can be regarded as a botanical structure unit, and it can be duplicated and piled on the top of another one to form a more massively green structure.

The HENCELLS were modeled from clay and cast using a four part plaster mold and quick setting cement without aggregate. One of the cells was made using styrofoam pellets as an aggregate and produced a noticeably lighter weight form. The cells are attached to the steel panel by carriage bolts which were bent at a slight angle and embedded into the form while cement was still wet.

My planter is made up of a concrete base and a wood structure to hold the pea gravel and stone crops in place. Wire mesh surround the wood structure so it can stand vertical without the pea gravel shifting.
