All-America Selections and National Garden Bureau are teaming up for the 2016 AAS Summer Summit, this time taking attendees to beautiful Madison, Wisconsin, the "Land of Locally Grown".
- The state of Wisconsin is ranked 6th out of 51 states and provinces as most committed to the locavore movement.
- Based on the number of farmers markets, CSA's and food hubs, TakeApart.com ranked Wisconsin 8th in states where it's easy to eat locally.
As AAS and NGB support this locally grown movement, we will tour not only AAS Trials and Display Gardens but also local businesses as we see and hear from the leaders of Wisconsin's locally grown movement.
Who Should Attend?
- Judges should attend to network with other judges and see how our trials look in another region.
- Display Garden Coordinators will want to attend to network with the All-America Selections board, staff and other Display Gardens as we tour two local Display Gardens in and around Madison.
Industry Colleagues will be interested in the learning about Epic Systems' sustainable landscape and the latest trends in locally grown.
