Trial Garden
We grow and evaluate hundreds of new varieties each year including annuals, perennials, and vegetables.
Our goals are:
- To determine how these plants perform in our mid-Michigan growing conditions
- Inspire the gardening public to explore new varieties and plant combinations
- To educate the horticulture industry and our garden visitors about our findings and recommendations.
To learn more about our trials, visit our Plant Trial Field Day page.
