The first five All-America Selections (AAS) Winners have been announced and made available for the 2025 gardening season.

The award, the American Horticultural Society’s highest recognition, is given to an individual who has made significant lifetime contributions to horticulture.

The event offers two days of educational and networking opportunities with industry leaders from breeding companies, major growers, key trialing sites and more.

As industry icons earn their well-deserved retirement, the next generation of trial experts are willingly stepping into these roles.

National Garden Bureau is now the parent organization, with AAS being the plant trialing program under National Garden Bureau.

This year’s summit takes place June 4-5 in Alabama and coincides with the Southern Garden Tour dates for 2024.

‘Sweetheart Kisses’ is a low-growing wonder that was praised for its vibrant red, rose, pink, and a hint of white blooms that add instant charm to any garden.

Brokers, growers, and retailers will want to add these proven garden performers to their assortments.

Both the National Garden Bureau and All-America Selections offer a range of tools to help you better promote the plants you’re growing and selling to consumers.

The Medallion of Honor, presented to Hiroshi Sakata, is awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the gardening industry.
