AAS Summer Summit 2012

AAS Summer Summit 2012
Join All-America Selections in Michigan for a 2 1/2 day event designed for AAS participants, supporters, AAS Display Gardens, trade media and garden writers to view the AAS flower and vegetable trials courtesy of local host trials and display gardens. Everyone can learn first-hand exactly what the extensive AAS trialing and judging process is all about and why it matters.
In 2012 we will visit Michigan, which is the first time AAS has visited this horticulture hotbed of a state! Not only can you join AAS on our tours, but you can extend your stay before or after to take part in the Michigan Garden Plant Tour.
This trip is a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about the AAS Trialing process as we'll visit at least three different AAS Trial grounds where the on-site judges will give us a walk-through of what they have seen thus far in their 2012 trials. It's an eye-opening experience to see each AAS entry and hear what the expert judges have to say about their garden performance compared to the other varieties that are planted side-by-side with our entries.
