Chris -- Hi! TC -- LOL. I think the problem with tarps (which is essentially what I use now) is that they don't really keeep your plant from tipping over. And you never really can take the tarp out of your car without spilling the dirt. Plus, my philosophy with gift giving is to try and find something that the recipient would really like, but never purchase for themselves. Kaci — LOL!

Stuff is always flying around my trunk, and I've been thinking to myself that someone really should design something to compartmentalize trunks. I didn't realize that someone had already invented it!

I bought a Box Tidy from Kinsman Garden Company a number of years ago -- it's a collapsible device with 4 departments that lets you transport plants from nursery to home without getting your car full of dirt. (Works great for groceries, too.) Every time someone sees mine, they want one. This year I'm giving them as presents.
