2015 California Spring Trials Are Just Around The Corner

The 2015 California Spring Trials will be held from Saturday, April 11 through Thursday, April 16. Generally, most locations are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; however, check the schedules at HorticultureEvents.com/CAST as opening and closing times may vary. As you’re making your plans, be aware that you must schedule appointments with each trial site. Contact information and registration are available at HorticultureEvents.com/CAST. You can also schedule appointments on the website for a select number of breeders; others require you to contact them directly.

You will notice that there are two locations for Dümmen this year, as well as a separate location for HGTV Home Plant Collection. The Northern Region includes 10 stops and the Central region includes nine. However, several stops include multiple breeders.
