The wooden planter is an example of a container method called "self-watering". The planter has a reservoir of a gallon of water under the soil. The planter only needs to be watered once a week or less depending on the amount of evaporation. Two of these planters are on display at the GCCOA.
Gibson MGs have another example of an outdoor "self-watering" planter in full sun at the Montgomery Cemetery in Oakland City, IN.
