The CSU Flower Trial Gardens are a must-see in Fort Collins during the summer. Not only are they beautiful and great for a walk, but they also test hundreds of annuals and perennials each year for plant companies from around the world 🌸🌼

The garden gets its funding from entry fees paid by companies testing their plants, as well as from sponsors in the green industry. These sponsors include horticulture associations, foundations, nurseries, garden centers, and greenhouse suppliers from across the country.

On August 4, during Colorado Destination Days, growers, suppliers, breeders, and other green industry professionals from around the world visited to see the plants in person. In this video, we hear from companies like Darwin Perennials, Dümmen Orange, North America, Beekenkamp Plants, and PanAmerican Seed about what the Trial Gardens mean to them and which plant traits they’re looking for.
