Our 2010 Exhibit: A Traveler's Rockery

The list of plants used in the exhibit is available for download (Word format).

The design evokes, with contemporary container garden sensibility, the playful sculpted home rockery of a well-traveled Delaware Valley gardener/collector from another era.

Using an irregular overall form, typical rock garden elements (screes, rectangular containers and raised stone beds) are filled with plant material from around the world. Well-chosen plants, hardy and tender, diminutive and standard, can together support a lush design to thrive in our hot, humid summer environment.

The exhibit took Best in Show for plant societies!
