- Containers for The Collector with Rita Randolph - Thursday,June 25, 6:00-8:00pm Fralin Auditorium
Rita and her greenhouse have been the subject of many Green Industry magazine covers and articles...and Rita is the author of this years’ Fine Gardening Container Gardening Issue!!!.
Designing containers since the 1970’2 ~ Rita combines flowers and foliage in a unique way, with the emphasis on ‘Foliage FIRST’. From table-top pots to large commercial installations, plants flow seamlessly together. New introductions and old favorites, perhaps forgotten by the industry, all come together for captivating combinations from her greenhouses, private and botanic gardens she’s seen across the country. She is a true plant collector and containers are Rita’s canvas. With camera in hand, she travels the country searching for new plants to add to her collection. Randolph’s Greenhouses is a 65 yr old family business that has become a collector’s destination with over 10 greenhouses of annuals, veggies, perennials, ornamental grasses and shrubs. $20 general public/$15 Friends of the Garden members
