Wot…a folding pot? It’s true. SlotPot was designed by 3D-designer Tim Leyshon after he failed to find what he was looking for in his local garden centre.

“Some of the traditional pots I saw were damaged and I got to thinking there must be better ways of transporting flower pots,” he told Glee Daily News,  “so I used my 3D design experience to devise something different.”

The result was the SlotPot, illustrated here, which, with its inner mesh planting bag, folds flat for packing into a shallow box – ideal for mail order sales as well as merchandising stacks in the garden centre. It comes in several bright modern colours.

Amazon were among the customers signing up today after admiring the design on the New Products display.
