This Friday, Plantpeddler in Cresco, Iowa, will host its variety day, “testing the best in the Midwest.” The trials feature more than 500 varieties from more than 20 breeders along with in-ground displays. Seminars will rotate on the half hour on the fundamentals of plant culture, breeding and selection, and care and handling. For details, visit: www.plantpeddler.com.
