| Praise for Garden Exhibit Gallery
“From my experience working
with Carla on numerous Orchid Shows, she is uniquely qualified with
her horticultural knowledge, project management skills and artistic
abilities to develop much needed traveling exhibits for public gardens.”
~Nancy Bechtol, Director, Office of Facilities
Management, Smithsonian Institution “During her time at the
U.S. Botanic Garden, Carla was able to create entertaining shows
that brought literary themes to life, including such favorites as
Peter Rabbit and Charlotte’s Web.” “I just had to write to
thank you for the beautiful, clever, unbelievable show you put together
on Charlotte’s Web. Wouldn’t E.B. White be thrilled to
see your work!!! ~Teresa Kammer

Garden Exhibit Gallery was created to address an urgent need in public gardens for innovative exhibits that showcase plants and inspire a wide-eyed wonder about their beauty, uniqueness and importance in our lives. By combining the talents of horticulturists and artists, these traveling exhibits are unique because they include all the components needed for a successful event including plants, props, works of art, a marketing package and educational and programming ideas. When you lease an exhibit from Garden Exhibit Gallery, careful attention is given to every detail, allowing your staff to concentrate on their primary work and address the needs of your collections and visitors.
Carla’s Philosophy “One of the reasons I started this company was because I am deeply moved by plants. I always have been. Their beauty, fragrance, color, shape, and the interesting stories they tell have always intrigued me. I hope to share this sense of wonder with garden visitors by creating remarkable exhibits. “As a public garden professional, I know people relate profoundly to plants and make important connections that help them understand their world and enrich their lives. Through Garden Exhibit Gallery, I want to create interesting and innovative exhibits that inspire people to experience plants in a meaningful way.”

| “When I worked at the
U.S. Botanic Garden I would judge an exhibit by what I called the
‘Ooohh, aaahh!’ factor. When visitors entered our gallery,
they would gasp at the extraordinary beauty of a single bloom or the
heady perfume of spring display and say ‘Ooohh, aaahh!’.
That expression of pure delight told me I had done a good job.” |
