yes, the holes have plant baskets in them that come with the unit. Each layer holds 6 plants. We put the trellises in now so once there are roots, we won't have to try to get them in later. some of the plants just get pretty tall so we would support them, and some have vines such as cucumbers so having a little extra support, we thought they might just be helpful. We'll see how it goes. The reservoir at bottom has a pump that pumps up thru the center then it rains down out onto each of the plant baskets watering everything. Its set to run for 15 of each hour during the daytime, and less often at night. a timer for the lights runs them 17hr day off for 7 overnight. The pump is also on timer.
