Abby Makowski, Michigan State University, describes the outstanding performers from their 2024 trial garden from the 2024 Michigan Garden Plant Tour.
The MSU Plant Trial Garden showcases a wide range of annuals, vegetables, herbs, and herbaceous perennials. We evaluate plants submitted by breeding companies, All America Selections, and Fleuroselect. We track plant performance, vigor, uniformity, ornamental value, disease tolerance, and response to climatic conditions. This unbiased information is summarized and made available to participating companies, industry professionals, and the general gardening public.
Presentation was live at Greenhouse Grower Expo 2024. Produced and edited by MSU Extension Educator, Heidi Lindberg.
