The closure in the form of a lid in one form, has a former for 10 forming the void. The lid is provided with engaging elements for engaging with the lids of surrounding pots to form an interlocked network or array of pots suitable for transportation in batches preventing the stack of pots from moving sufficiently to destroy the array. When the is pots arrive at a nursery or similar for planting, the lids of the pots are removed revealing a preformed void into which the seedling can be placed so that the pot is ready for distribution to retail outlets and ultimate customers. The improvement in efficiency is obtained by the grower 20 not having to fill the pot or form a void for receiving the seedling which are preformed at the site of the compost supplier. 27/01112 30753651 (GHMatte) P86256 AU.
