Abstract: A planter includes a wire basket having horizontal parallel top rings, bottom rings, and connected vertical wires. Four folding legs each include a top loop rotatably attached to the bottom rings. The legs when in their extended down position each include a short inwardly angled section that nests into the bottom rings for stability. The legs also include an outwardly angled section forming a mid-height detent recess, and a foot. A retainer ring slides downwardly into engagement with all four of the detent recesses to secure the legs in their use positions, which is particularly stable due to the nested relationship with the recesses in the bottom rings. A drip pan, shallow secondary basket and alternative leg-latches are also disclosed.

Abstract: A planter system includes a pair of C-shaped wire baskets held together with connecting rods. The rods are L-shaped, and rotate between a storage position tight against their respective basket, and a use position where they telescopingly engage tube sections on the mating basket. A base engages the bottom of each wire basket, and can be inverted between low and high basket supporting positions, with connectors on the basket snap-attaching or magnetically attaching to the base in both positions. One corner of the basket has a hook shaped to engage another corner of the basket, such that several baskets can be interconnected to form a ring or long chain. An arching handle is provided that pivots down for storage and pivots up to a use position where it overlappingly frictionally engages (or magnetically couples to) the handle of an adjacent identical basket.
