The slightly condensed California Spring Trials (CAST) schedule for 2026 has led other attendees — this time a group of them — to change locations.
Less than a month after Benary announced it was moving its California Spring Trials experiences from its Watsonville facility to Por La Mar Nursery in Santa Barbara (Benary noted in 2025 that it would be the company’s last year in Watsonville), Israeli unrooted cutting and tissue suppliers are moving to the Santa Barbara Polo Club, joining PlantHaven, Pacific Plug & Liner, Suntory Flowers, PDSI, and others. The Israeli companies (Cohen Nursery, Hishtil Nurseries, Jaldety Nursery, Saad Assaf Flower Bulbs, and Nir Nursery) are collectively listed under Global Plant Source in the Southern Central location link.
The companies will be exhibiting from Tuesday, March 24, 2026, through Friday, March 27, 2026.
