Congratulations to all the winners of our
2026 Pamela Crawford Side Planting Photo Contest!
1st Place Winner - Kathleen Okerberg, St. Augustine FL.
“I'm enclosing several photos of my Pamela Crawford column side planter that I planted this year. I started by adding a small amount of potting soil to the bottom of the basket and then added the Begonias and Ivy in the side holes. Then I added a little more soil and proceeded to add the Cordyline as the centerpiece surrounded by Dipladenia plants and Creeping Jenny. It really has already filled in so nicely. I live in Florida, so I was able to plant back in March”.
2nd Place Winner - Suzanne Teaberry, Canfield OH
“Several years ago I bought two Pamela Crawford container gardening kits. I have enjoyed the results every year, but after finally having a watering system installed, I think this year’s results are the most stunning ever! Thought you might enjoy seeing a picture of one near my front door. Thanks for offering so many interesting and useful items for gardeners”.
3rd Place Winner - Ann Werther, Novi MI.
“This year for my 20" Double Tier Basket I selected shades of pinks and purples. The results are quite stunning. Petunias are the primary flower of which there are many varieties including Pretty Grand Violet, Crazytunia in Blue Ice, Supertunia Lovie Dovie, Supertunia Vista Jazzberry, Easy Wave Petunias in pink passion, rose fusion, and violet. Also included are Lanai deep pink trailing verbena, Superbena in violet ice, and Wonderland mulberry mix alyssum. The center plant is a zonal geranium in Fantasia purple sizzle”.
