National Garden Bureau, All-America Selections Return to In-Person Summit

Posted by Brian Sparks|March 19, 2022

In-person horticulture gatherings continue to make their way back. This summer, National Garden Bureau, Home Garden Seed Association, and All-America Selections are teaming up to host a 2022 in-person meeting in Iowa.

The meeting will take place Aug. 2-4 at the Embassy Suites in downtown Des Moines. One day will be spent in the greater Des Moines area, and the second day will be in Ames, home to Iowa State University and alma mater to many successful horticulture industry professionals. A few of the many highlights of this year’s Summer Summit include:

AAS Trial tours
HGSA Trial tours
AAS Display Garden tours
NGB’s Consumer Focus Group, Live!
Awards presentations
Public garden tours
Unique Iowa destination tours

Not only will 2022 be the first time any of the organizations will have had an in-person meeting since 2019, but it will also be a celebration of All-America Selections’ 90th anniversary.

This event is open to anyone (growers, breeders, retailers, brokers, industry reps, educators, media, garden communicators, etc.) interested in any or all of these three organizations, the trials, and other local sites.

Registration is now open here!
