Abstract: An in-ground rechargeable planter assembly comprising a receptacle body having two or more recesses formed therein and further having a broad peripheral flange which lies at ground level when properly installed. Insert bodies which are precharged with soil and living plants are dropped into cavities in the receptacle body. The adjoining side walls of the cavities are fused together in a thermoforming operation to prevent flexing and hinging of the structure when under load.

Abstract: An apparatus for storing decorative plants, particularly, in earth, while allowing for easy removal and replacement of the stored plants, includes a receptacle body which is embedable in the earth, the receptacle body having at least one cavity formed therein for receiving a storage tray, the receptacle body further having a hole formed therethrough below the cavity to allow drainage therefrom. A storage tray is shaped to fit inside the cavity of the receptacle body, and the storage tray has a hollow space formed therein to receive stored plants such as flowers therein. Among other uses, the apparatus hereof is suitable for replaceably holding flowering plants at grave sites, and elsewhere where flower beds are desired.
