Fireproof Planter .

Recently ,in an establishment belonging to the same group as this one, someone disposed of a cigarette end in a similar planter, without stubbing it out properly .The planter caught fire .It was then decreed on high that these planters must be fire proofed . The soil is now covered in a fireproof membrane, with piercings for plants and the whole covered with stones .The plants will look more attractive when they have grown larger ,but I find the whiteness harsh.
