 1. Smart Pot // High Caliper Growing
Edibles are still hot. Consequently, items tied to edibles still hold clout in the market. The patented Smart Pot is a soft-sided, fabric container that has the rigidity to hold its shape and can even support large trees. But its best selling point in 2011 is that it helps produce incredibly hardy—and tasty—vegetables. The aeration container has a unique ability to air-prune and enhance a plant’s root structure. It is now available in a variety of sizes. www.smartpots.com
 2. Plant Hanger // Good Earth Manufacturing
The elegant Plant Hanger holds almost all 8-inch to 10-inch pots, including clay planters and hanging baskets. A great selling point: The product is a display in and of itself, especially when used in the store with striking planters and beautiful plants. In fact, the Plant Hanger is an excellent anchor for vignettes such as the one shown here. It comes in rust, dark roast and black and is made of 100-percent recycled aluminum. www.goodearthmfg.com
