Plant Delights Nursery has a specialty catalog[2] with humorous, topical covers drawn by cartoonist Jack Pittman. The nursery has been featured in many newspapers,[3][4][5] magazines,[6] and on television.[7][8]
In 2012, the nursery's spring catalog cover ignited a strong reprisal from Penn State alumni when the cover featured a caricature of former coach Jerry Sandusky dressed as a lion with a Penn State logo attached chasing children down a road. Numerous Facebook comments directed to the business were deleted. Avent commented on News 5 WRAL in Raleigh that he stands by his artwork.[9]
In 2021, Plant Delights' spring catalog featured President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and a number of children reading sexually suggestive pages from a book held by Biden entitled "Kama Seedtra".[10]
