While April brings breeders to the west coast for the California Pack Trials, May brings performance trials to the east coast with FNGLA's First Annual Floriculture Field Days and Performance Trials held in conjunction with the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Planting and preparation is underway as FNGLA plans to showcase how the season's new varieties will handle Florida's heat and humidity.
Not only will industry members get to see how resilient the new varieties are to Florida's climate, but members can participate in a top-notch educational program, tour local gardens and network with breeders from across the country. For more information on the program, see the full schedule.
