Miami, Fla. – Costa Farms will open its 2-acre trial garden on Jan. 15, 2018 for its annual Winter Trial Garden Open House, where visitors will have the opportunity to see more than 500 plant varieties of annuals and perennials, many of which won’t be in stores for another couple of years.
The Trial Garden offers a series of landscape beds, row beds to compare plant performances and hanging baskets trials, as well as mixed-container garden trials. Many of the plant breeders, as well as the Costa Farms research and development team, will be on hand to help answer questions and give additional insights on the varieties and gardening in South Florida.
The Trial Garden, which is located at Costa Farms – Costa Color Division, 19995 SW 194th Avenue, Miami, FL 33187, will be open the week of Jan. 15 by appointment only.
