Claim:
A modular gardening system, comprising: a first monolithic growing pod forming an interior growing volume and including an opening to the interior growing volume defined by a frame-accommodating lip; a plant growing medium occupying at least part of the interior growing volume of the first monolithic growing pod; at least a second monolithic growing pod forming an interior growing volume and including an opening to the interior growing volume defined by a frame-accommodating lip, the second monolithic growing pod being substantially identical to the first monolithic growing pod; a plant growing medium occupying at least part of the interior growing volume of the second monolithic growing pod; a frame assembly configured to run around the opening of the first monolithic growing pod within the frame-accommodating lip of the first monolithic growing pod and the opening of the second monolithic growing pod within the frame-accommodating lip of the second monolithic growing pod, the frame assembly further configured to support the first monolithic growing pod and the second monolithic growing pod in a side-by-side array, stepped array, or an elevated array; a modular leg structure comprising a plurality of legs, the legs configured to be selectively mated to a top portion and a bottom portion of the frame assembly.
