Don’t miss this brilliant showcase of annual and perennial varieties on display at The Ohio State University Cultivar Trials.

The trial gardens offer the opportunity to evaluate landscape and container performance in typical Central-Ohio conditions. Visitors will have the opportunity to take guided tours of the Ornamental Plant Germplasm Center, which provides a behind-the-scenes look at plant conservation efforts. Enjoy light snacks and drinks while touring the gardens, talk to volunteers, and network with others.

When: July 11, 4:30p.m.-7:00p.m.

Where: Cultivar Trials Field, 2027 Coffey Rd, Columbus, OH 43210
