Patent number: 6851221Abstract: A plant border system includes a flat and a plant tray. The flat defines a flat cavity and a flat top opening communicating with the flat cavity. An upstanding rim surrounds at least a portion of the flat top opening. The plant tray defines a tray cavity and a tray top opening communicating with the tray cavity. The tray cavity has a tray width and a tray length that is greater than the tray width. The plant tray includes a collar surrounding at least a portion of the tray top opening, the collar defining a downwardly opening channel. The flat is adapted to receive the plant tray in the flat cavity such that the rim is received in the channel and the flat is thereby structurally reinforced by the plant tray to resist flexure.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: VersaScapes, L.L.C.Inventors: Todd Anthony Layt, Tobey A.
