*UPDATED to Version 2:*
**What's new**: Drainage-holes have been added to all planter pods, draining into the center-hole. The center-hole has new vertical drainage-channels which allow the pods to drain even if you place a rod down the center of the planter. The pods have a raised and angled floor designed to promote drainage. I would recommend placing a small amount of coffee filter or something like that to keep soil from draining out.

More than two years in the making, I can finally reveal my original concept for a stacking, nesting modular herb-garden planter!
After the success of my [self-watering planter](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:957427) design, I began thinking about a way to build this kind of vertical stacking planter. Inspired by the structure of a [pinecone](http://imgur.com/Bhcsvh3), I expect this to be the first in a series of stackables in the same vein.
At the time, my CAD skills were not up to the task of creating this, and I struggled with how to generate the perfectly-nesting curves required for this concept to work. But now I have that figured out at last after working on other problems, and was able to successfully produce this excellent design.
I hope you are as excited about this idea as I am; I can easily see people building herb-gardens in their kitchen windows, mounting these on lazy-susans that let them rotate the whole garden and choose which herbs get the most sun, or even take advantage of the center-hole to mount…
