Patent ID: 8365465

Claim:
A plant growth assembly comprising: a cover comprising: a main cover portion; a peripheral base spaced from the main cover portion and defining an outer perimeter of the cover; a peripheral wall extending from a first side of the main cover portion between the main cover portion and the peripheral base; at least one plant growth channel defined by a tube extending from the first side of the main cover portion, wherein for each plant growth channel: the tube has a proximal end adjacent the main cover portion and a distal end relative to the proximal end; a first aperture is defined in the main cover portion at the proximal end of the tube and a second aperture is defined at the distal end of the tube, the first aperture and the second aperture communicating through the tube; a quantity of plant-growing medium disposed opposite the first side of the main cover portion; and a plant, the plant extending from the plant growth medium into the distal end of the tube, through the plant growth channel and past the proximal end of the tube; wherein: for each plant growth channel, the tube extends past the peripheral base; the peripheral base comprises an outwardly extending peripheral flange located at a distal end of the peripheral wall, relative to the main cover potion; an outermost edge of the peripheral flange defines a notional rectangle; and for each edge of the notional rectangle defined by the outermost edge of the peripheral flange, at least one arch-shaped indentation is defined in a distal portion of the peripheral wall that is distal from the main cover portion.
