PlantHaven welcomes Augustus Green, who is joining the PlantHaven Plants Team from Santa Barbara City College. He will be recording all the activity at the "2018 Go Trials". This year's trial will include many new candidates. The team is hard at work getting them ready for their premier North American viewing.
Augustus and the team moved all the plants into their new trial positions in WK25 2018. Crops for this year are predominately grown in 2-gallon and 5-gallon specimen containers. The 2018 trial is varied and diverse with many new Zone 5 perennials, colorful fast-turn shrubs, and some new container garden items.
