Floriculture Field Day 2012
2012 Kathy Pufahl Container Competition
The ninth annual Kathy Pufahl Memorial Container Design
Competition was held July 24, 2012 at Cornell's Bluegrass Lane Horticultural
Research Facility, Ithaca, NY. Kathy (right), who founded Beds
and Borders, Inc., Laurel, N.Y., was a staple on the horticultural
educational seminar circuit, spreading her container ideas far and
wide. It is her vision that changed the way the horticulture industry
looks at the spring container business. Her influence brought back
a bit of the art and beauty to the business. All proceeds from the contest -- which topped $10,000 over nine years -- go directly to IBD research at Mt. Sinai Hospital, to help ensure a bright future for Kathy's daughter and others like her, who have Crohn's disease. For more information about the competition, contact: Karen Hall, 716-941-3502 nysfi@nyflowergrowers.org.
Judges evaluated the entries based on use of form and texture, color palette, choice of plant material and container, signage, and
creativity.
