How This Year’s Summer Field Trials Will Focus on Award-Winning Varieties
All-America Selections (AAS), North America’s most well-known plant trialing organization, is presenting a new garden concept at this year’s summer field day events. “Introduction Gardens” will allow growers, breeders, and universities that host summer field day events to help industry visitors view AAS Winners in a local setting.
“Previously, the AAS Winners were oftentimes not on display at Summer Field Trials in the first year or two after introduction, so we are making the extra effort to make sure our AAS Winners are in front of the industry when they are visiting those Summer Field Trials,” says Diane Blazek, Executive Director of All-America Selections.
AAS is honored to work with many respected industry businesses that host summer events that are open to brokers and growers.
