The planter (1) is made from a synthetic material by rotomoulding; it has double walls (5, 6) on its sides and base (7, 8), the base acting as a reservoir for water. The side walls form a container for the soil, and the upper wall (7) of the base has o or more upward projections (32) with holes for wicks (22) carrying moisture to the soil. The water reservoir is shaped so that i extends outwards beyond the side walls and has a hole (25) in its upper surface for re-filling with water.
