I already have several of these planters. My wife and I use them for flowers as well as for herbs, strawberries, lettuce and other container sized veggies! I have some hanging and have stacked some nine high with the metal dowel for stability and it worked great! With the water reservoirs, my plants aren't all wilted when I come home from work anymore! And, my neighbors all think they are beautiful. I have given several as gifts and have added seeds, gloves and nutrients. A must buy!
