The tenth annual Kathy Pufahl Memorial Container Design
Competition was held August 13, 2013 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 has topped $10,000 over ten 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
