  • Publication number: 20200077606
    Abstract: A self-watering planter comprises an outer shell, an inner shell and a water delivery device having a valve element. The outer shell is defined by a bottom surface, a body section and a top opening providing access to an interior. The inner shell is defined by a bottom surface, a body section and a top opening providing access to an interior. The inner shell is sized to be smaller than the interior of the outer shell such that when the inner shell is disposed within the interior of the outer shell, a hollow area is formed between the inner shell and the outer shell for retaining water. An opening is formed through a rim of the planter to provide access to the hollow area for water to be received and stored, and water is metered into the interior of the inner shell by the valve element.
