When talking about planters, it bears mentioning that they don't always have to be permanent structures. Indeed, we've been involved in many situations where the best design solution involves creating pedestals or deck areas that will become homes for urns, pots, vases or other movable units. These containers can't handle anything particularly big - no date palms, for instance - but they do have the advantage of being portable and the plants they carry can easily be replaced. Even here, however, we consider these containers from the get-go in the design process. The main issue is drainage: Water used to irrigate the pot or urn has to go somewhere.
