Abstract

Article mounting apparatus is provided for mounting an article such as a plant container to a support such as a lamp post. The apparatus includes a first bracket for mounting to a support, and a second bracket associated with the article. The first and second brackets are arranged to be mountable together to an engaged position by mutual relative movement in a first direction, and movable from the engaged position to a locked position by mutual relative movement in a second direction, the second direction being different to the first direction. The first and second brackets are arranged so that in the locked position, mutually relative movement of the brackets in a direction substantially opposite to the first direction is substantially prevented.
