Abstract: A tray for the transport of nursery plants and the like has a bottom and movable side walls. The side walls may be easily placed in one of three positions. When in the lowermost position, the side wall is even with or below the bottom for allowing plants to be loaded or unloaded. After plants are loaded, the side wall is placed in middle or upper positions to retain the plants on the tray during transport. The side walls are retained on the tray by brackets that are configured to prevent dislodgment during vertical motions incident to bouncing of the vehicle during transport.
