"The energy and enthusiasm throughout the week were incredible"

Terra Nova Nurseries recently hosted its 2025 Open House event at the company's facility in Canby, Oregon, during the Farwest Show week, August 18-22. The event attracted a crowd of nearly 100 guests across the horticulture industry, including growers, buyers, brokers and other trade professionals.

Terra Nova's Open House provided a welcoming and casual opportunity to venture throughout the company's blooming display gardens. Guests connected with Terra Nova's breeding and sales teams, got a first-hand look at the company's latest variety introductions, and learned about the inspiration and ingenuity behind these new varieties.

"There's nothing quite like seeing people walk through our gardens, ask questions, and share their excitement over our latest breeding breakthroughs and cultivars; it keeps us inspired to think about what is next and how we can continue pushing the boundaries of unique horticulture."
