a second side-wall extending longitudinally in a second direction, said second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, said second side-wall including a base board and a top board;
a third side-wall spaced from the first side-wall and extending longitudinally in the first direction;
a fourth side-wall spaced from the second side-wall and extending longitudinally in the second direction; and
a bottom wall residing on an imaginary horizontal plane, said bottom wall including a panel having a first protrusion formed at an end thereof,
wherein said second side-wall extends in a third direction that is normal to said imaginary horizontal plane,
wherein the first side-wall, the second side-wall, the third side-wall, the fourth side-wall, and the bottom wall collectively define a storage cavity configured to receive a planting medium therein,
wherein the bottom wall spans between and is removably connected to the first side-wall and the third side-wall, and the second side-wall and the fourth side-wall span between and are removably connected to the first side-wall and the third side-wall,
wherein the bottom wall is spaced from the bottom end of the first side-wall in the third direction and towards an opposite, top end of the first side-wall,
wherein the base plank has first and second grooves formed therein, said first groove extending longitudinally in the first direction, and said second groove extending longitudinally in the third direction,
wherein the first protrusion is slidingly received within the first groove to removably connect the bottom wall to the first side-wall,
wherein the top plank is disposed above the base plank in the third direction,
wherein the top plank has a third groove formed therein, said third groove being vertically aligned with the second groove,
wherein the base board rests on a top surface of the panel and extends beyond a top edge of the base plank in the third direction,
wherein the base board has a second protrusion formed at an end thereof, wherein the second protrusion is slidingly received within the second groove and the third groove,
wherein the top board is disposed above the base board in the third direction, wherein the top board has a third protrusion formed at an end thereof, and wherein the third protrusion is slidingly received within the third groove, and
wherein the base board spans a first distance in the third direction, and wherein the top board spans a second distance in the third direction, wherein said first and second distances are different.
