A planting system comprising two containers, an inner container and a complementary outer container. The outer container is placed permanently into the ground or in any desired location. The inner container is then placed into the outer container. Thereafter, the inner container can be placed into and removed from the outer container whenever desired. Flowers, plants and the like are planted into the inner container either before or after the inner container is placed into the outer container. In this manner, flowers and plants can easily be planted into inner containers while the gardener is sitting, standing or in any other comfortable position. The gardener may then easily place and replace any desired inner container into any desired complementary outer container. In addition, flowers and plants can easily be interchanged from one location to another location by replacing one inner container which contains one flower or plant from a outer container with another similar inner container which contains another flower or plant.
