Meet All-America Selections’ New Trial Judges
All-America Selections (AAS), the industry’s only independent, non-profit, national plant trialing program, has announced 23 new horticulture experts as AAS Judges. AAS now has seven different trial types, and with a need for at least 24 judges for each trial, the number of trialing professionals has grown. In addition, as industry icons earn their well-deserved retirement, the next generation of trial experts are willingly stepping into their roles as an AAS Trial Judge.
The seven AAS trials are:
- Seed ornamentals, in-ground
- Seed ornamentals, container
- Non-seed ornamentals, in-ground
- Non-seed ornamentals, container
- Edibles, in-ground
- Edibles, container
- Perennials, in-ground
