Rivergate Gardens Orchid Pots - After years of growing
orchids I had decided I needed a wide bottom pot to be stable
in-order to balance taller plants.  While we use them here for
oncidiums and cymbidiums our unique design accommodates any
variety.  Our pots are hand made here in Wisconsin by master
potter Scott Keith. Scott has been a professional potter for
over 30 years and takes great pride in his work. We offer 3
sizes and each size comes in a scrafitti design that rings the
entire pot, or smooth.  Natural terra cotta finish.

beautiful design.  Our local electric co-op featured her a few months ago in their monthly magazine and I immediately took a
liking to her innovative artwork.  After graduating from art school at UW-LaCrosse, she has been working at developing a
style that is inspired by the beautiful natural surroundings she lives within at her ridge top farm.  Taking design hints directly
from her abundantly wooded environment she incorporates them into flowing patterns in her clay work.  An adept eye for
