Made with reclaimed timber with the ability to hold [six different plants or flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planter-300), the Flower Mats offer environment-friendly elements both to the Earth and your household. Each of the Flower Mats contain a pretty floral pattern to complete the green theme.
