Abstract: A plurality of planters may be used free standing or arranged in a bracket assembly to form a hanging garden. The planter has a unique water-management system. The planter comprises a unitary plastic piece having a chamber therein in which flowers or plants may be planted. A watering chamber, having a plurality of holes at the bottom thereof, allows water into the planted soil well above the bottom of the planting chamber. Excess water passes through drainage/reabsorption holes at the bottom of the planting chamber and into drainage chambers. Erosion baffles operate to impede the flow of water along the convexly curved bottom of the planting chamber preventing and controlling fine soil erosion. The drainage chamber allows for visual inspection of the water level and provides for reabsorption of excess water by the plant's roots as needed.
