All-America Selections

All-America Selections is the oldest independent plant testing organization in North America. Every year, new plant varieties are evaluated in trial grounds nationwide, where professional horticulturists determine which varieties will be winners based on their garden performance.

​

National Garden Bureau (NGB) and All-America Selections (AAS) will host the 2025 Summer Summit in Auburn and Opelika, Alabama which coincides with the Southern Garden Tour.

The event begins with a Welcome Reception and Dinner with Peers at Young's Plant Farm in Auburn. The following day will be a tour day. The tour will include the Rane Culinary Science Center and the Donald E. Davis Arboretum on the Auburn University campus, followed by lunch and a tour of Young's Plant Farm, a tour of Bonnie Plants' headquarters and trial gardens in Opelika, AL, and finally a tour and dinner at the Botanic Market.

The event is open to any growers, breeders, brokers, industry reps, educators, media, garden communicators interested in NGB, AAS, these academic and grower organizations, the trials and other local sites.

Registration will open closer to the event.
