A container surrounding a pole and base stand of a freestanding floor lamp or similar structure. The container includes a sidewall integrally attached to a base panel to form a ballast volume, a fixture void, and a wedge void extending into the ballast volume. The container can take on a variety of shapes and can be split into two sections comprising an upper planter section and a lower reservoir section. The upper planter section includes a ballast volume, a pole void and a wedge void. The lower reservoir section includes a ballast volume, a wedge void, and a base void and can include a watering port. The base void can be used for storage or as a pet house. A wedge section can be provided to close off the wedge void and define the aperture in which a freestanding device such as a floor lamp is housed.
