Each seedling cavity converges from its mouth opening to its bottom region which as a bottom opening. In use, the seedling tray has a plurality of upwardly open seedling cavities filled with a suitable growing medium such as soil or mulch. Seeds are planted in such medium in each upwardly open cavity.
