A vertical plant stand arrangement includes a lower base having a water reservoir and pumping system, the electrical controls and timer unit; a central vertical support column provided with a plurality of plant stations and, optionally, an upper cover that house the water drip distribution system and the lighting system. The base has two physically separate sections--one housing the water reservoir and pumping system and the other housing the electrical system and timer. The water reservoir includes a filtering system and feeding lines to the top of the central vertical support column as well as return lines from each plant station to the water reservoir. The electrical system includes a timer that activates the pumping system in the water reservoir. The central vertical support column includes a hollow interior passageway for receiving the water lines and a plurality of plant stations attached thereto. The location of each of the plant stations is adjustable to allow different plant configurations.

A band is set forth which can function to wrap bundles of items together or to secure one item to another. In a first mode, the band is wrapped about a bundle and an opening disposed along the length of the band is passed over a stud to secure the band wrapped about the bundle. In the second mode, the band is wrapped about one item and an end is passed through a slit near the other end of the band to define a first loop. The band is thereafter wrapped about the other item to define a second loop and an opening is passed over the stud to secure the band.
