About Us
We are planter design specialists rooted in horticulture.
Have you gotten that call from a customer saying they are having an unexpected guest, an event next week, or need to spruce up the landscaping for a grand opening next week?
Of course you have to make this happen in this competitive Washington, D.C. -Baltimore Metro market. With only a week you have to design, quote, get a signature, and execute. Plants can be tricky to find but with many resources available, they can be sourced locally.
Planters…where do you go for quality large planters?!
You check your online resources, making calls to see what can be shipped right away and hoping the planters will get to you on time.
Mount Vernon Vessels & Vines eliminates the stress of situations like this one.
We carry a local supply of top-quality planters without all the hassles, and have them ready for your needs so that you come through for your customers. Even better, we are located conveniently in Alexandria, Virginia and can deliver them to you or your job site.
About the Founder
Since middle school, Jennifer Guinta knew she wanted to work with plants, so it was only natural that she pursued a Horticulture degree from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Her passion for plants stems from her grandfather, who taught her how to create floral arrangements and tend a garden. Spending her informative years in England as a child, every weekend the family visited a historic castle, house, or garden, which continues to inspire her designs today.
During the past 24 years in the landscape industry, Jennifer has worked in:
- landscape contracting
- green design and installation
- wholesale landscape supply
She enjoys building strong professional relationships, communicating effectively, and generating innovative solutions for complex problems in the multifaceted horticultural industry.
But Why Planters?
Sourcing high-quality landscape planters locally and promptly is stressful. After struggling with this problem countless times as a landscape contractor, Jennifer decided to do something about it.
Mount Vernon Vessels & Vines is your local expert in interior and exterior planters, offering tailored solutions that align with clients’ budgets and lead times. And…we deliver, from container selection to design to physically putting finished planters on your site. Problem solved.
