Flat-Packed Planters

These Versatile Containers Can Be Used in the Kitchen or the Garden

'Groovebox Living' recently debuted a line of versatile containers that can be used in the kitchen or the garden. Although planters are necessary for cultivating an outdoor garden, these kinds of containers can be used for little else. Groovebox Living has designed a more versatile planter that can be used for everything from cooking to outdoor entertaining.

The new planters feature a flat-pack design that allows them to be assembled without the use of tools. Once assembled, the versatile containers can be used for a number of different activities. For example, the boxes can be combined to create the base for an outdoor barbecue or fire pit. The containers can also be used on their own as outdoor furniture or garden boxes. For those who wish to use the boxes indoors, the containers are perfect for cultivating a counter-top herb garden.

Groovebox Living just wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign, meaning the flat-packed planters are likely to hit the market soon.
