And the Winner is...
The Winner of The Otten Bros. Pretty Pots contest is...
First, a big thank you to our Pretty Pots Judges: Suzette Nordstrom of Monrovia Growers and Heather McKay of Campania International; sponsors of the Otten Bros. Pretty Pots Contest.
Our category winners each will receive a $100 Otten Bros. gift card.
Winner of the Sunny Category is photo #10 in our Pretty Pots Album on our Facebook page, Kimberly Swanson. The judges' comments on her pot were...Great use of tropicals and annuals, brave colors and texture. Perfect 'thriller, filler, spiller' approach to planting. It all contrasted perfectly with her pot. Honorable Mention in the Sunny Category goes to photo #2 - Jane Horn (sorry, no prize, just your name in lights). The judges loved that your pots solved a problem-area in your yard. They also loved the contrast in colors and the fact that nothing was really blooming in the pot and you still had great color.
Winner of the Shade Category is photo #6, Deanna Counsell. The judges thought it had great texture and liked the use of white to brighten up your combination. The colors were playful and it just looked beautiful. Honorable Mention in the Shade Category goes to photo #41 Penny Eckert (sorry, no prize, just 15 seconds of fame). Judges comments...You made your pot 'art in the garden'. It was simple, beautiful and whimsical.
Winner of the Edible Category photo #19, Tina Pramann. It made the judges hungry just thinking about your basket. What a great use of space! It was so useful, a cutting and kitchen garden in one basket.
The Grand Prize Winner of $500 in Monrovia plants, $400 in Campania Pottery & a $100 Otten Bros. Gift Card, chosen from our category winners, is Kimberly Swanson's sunny 'tropical' pot! The judges said her entry 'just had it all! CONGRATULATIONS Kimberly!! |
