The Log & Squirrel Self Watering Planter is almost too cute for words, but is that enough to make it special? The unique feature to the pot is the addition of a helpful plastic squirrel.
Unlike the squirrels from the wild that scurry off as you come within a meter of them, this squirrel will only sink back to its hiding place when the plant is in need of water.
So, you'll always be informed about the thirstiness of your plants!
