Nestled among the mountains of Victor, Colorado, Rita the Rock Planter rises from the rugged landscape—a larger-than-life creation by internationally renowned Danish artist Thomas Dambo.
Created from reclaimed wood, Rita is part of Dambo’s worldwide collection of monumental troll sculptures designed to bring people into nature while inspiring conversations about recycling, sustainability, and our relationship with the environment.
Set against Colorado’s historic mining landscape, Rita appears almost at home among the rocks and evergreens—a whimsical guardian reminding visitors that discarded materials can be transformed into something extraordinary.
“Rita the Rock Planter — Guardian of the Mountains” captures the meeting of art, nature, imagination, and a powerful message about giving new life to what others leave behind.
