Special Summer Events

With summer now here, we have been feverishly tending our spectacular trial gardens.  As you may know, we organize and conduct an extensive trial garden on site in Cresco, Iowa.  With new plant varieties coming in from all over the world, our gardens host some of the most stunning colors and textures.

Once in our trial gardens, we put new varieties to the test, no more easy greenhouse living here!  Throughout the season we observe and grade out product based upon its ability to perform and its ability to succeed in the market.  After a few months in the garden, we host events for horticulture professionals and the public to come and view the new varieties and grade the product themselves.  This feedback helps steer our programs for the upcoming seasons and ensure that we are bringing the best new products to our customers. 

On Friday, August 4th 2023 from 9am to 4pm we will be hosting an event for horticulture professionals including retailers, growers, and vendors.
