Representatives of a number of breeders were on hand to talk with growers.
About 2,200 varieties were in the trials. The focus was on containers. The annual hanging basket competition also attracted considerable attention; visitors could vote on their favourites and the results will be announced in the magazine later this year.
An overview of this year's trials will be published this fall as a Growing In The Green feature.
Here’s a pictorial overview of the event. Click here for more information.
