"What a great contest! I am excited to see so much success growing edibles in containers; to see amazingly creative containers including a purse, desk drawers and a shoe bag; and to see an unexpected crop such as rice." Contest judge Steven Biggs

"When it comes to finding containers for growing plants, you’re only limited by your imagination. That’s the delightful can-do spirit shown by entrants!" Contest judge Aldona Satterthwaite

"The entries for this year’s photo contest were fantastic. I especially liked seeing how many people used recycled materials and other inventive types of planting containers. I appreciated the simplicity of a well-tended lemon balm in a drawer and a perennial garlic chive as well as the larger and more unusual plants. It was also interesting to see that multiple gardeners used containers within a larger space or in combination with their on-the-ground gardens." Contest judge Lara Mrosovsky
