Garden Art Category

First Prize Garden Art: Trish Pitzerak fell in love with this turquoise glass and steel totem made by Z Glass Ac and had to have it for this corner of her yard. The back lighting, the orientation looking up from a lower angle and the colors really separated this excellent photo composition from the rest.

Second Prize Garden Art: Doug Hillman obviously loves his garden and taking pictures. This shot just makes us want to sit out there with a beverage and enjoy the striking blue sky, the happy sunflowers and the perfect welcoming metal sun and glass garden stakes he found at our shop.

Third Prize Garden Art: Brian Russell took this adorable picture of his granddaughter with one of the wreaths from Feather and Flower Designs. Framed by the beautiful wreath and with the landscape in the background we couldn’t resist making this one a winner!

Landscape Category

Landscape Category First Prize: Marty Martin said he just loves the antiqued style of our heritage Tuscan Frost Proof Pottery. Not only did he have a great setting for this photo taken during a smokey evening but, the xeric scape and the steel cactus torch really set off the composition.

Landscape Category Second Prize: David and Vicki Eiseman worked hard to create a trellis wall with planters and pots that met the needs of their HOA and their personal aesthetic. David built the wooden structures and Vicki completed the design. Great Teamwork!

Landscape Category Third Prize: Lynda and Patrick Olin stopped by the shop and fell in love with the Bass Mongolian Wind Chime by Music of the Spheres. Little did we know they had such an awesome setting to listen and gaze. Gorgeous you two!

Water Feature Category

Water Feature Category First Prize: Celeste Kirk purchased a large hand-carved Buddha Fountain from us last year and this water feature became the center of her “re-landscape” of her front yard. Great job Celeste!

Water Feature Category Second Prize: Katy Meyers (Bishop) purchased this double set of ‘Origins’ water fountains and had a very specific idea of what she wanted in her design and the outcome. Katy we think you hit it ‘outta’ the park. Stellar!

Water Feature Category Third Prize: John Grant had a difficult corner of his house to beautify and create a beautiful landscape. His water feature is perfectly in proportion with the landscape. Hope you enjoy listening to your water while you lounge John!

Interior Category

Interior Category First Prize: Megan Marten snapped this “American Gothic” pose of her father Mike, with his new found Talavera and Concrete pottery treasures. We just thought it too classic not to be a winner!

Interior Category Second Prize: Lynn and Andrea Boes submitted this nice Jade plant in one of our Bonsai Style Retro pots. Simple and well sized, elegant. Good use of the plant and pottery.

Interior Category Third Prize: Nancy Hinnen placed these three white Mid-Century Modern textured pots, with very happy pothos, in her living room shelves and created a very nice composition.
