Team GPN is on Day 3 of our California Spring Trials adventure. We escaped the snowy weather in the Chicago area to head to the coast where we are working our way from northern part of the state down to central California over five days.<\/p>\n
So far, Mother Nature has provided us with great weather. We\u2019re just hoping she behaves herself for the rest of the week \u2014 but I\u2019m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n
We started bright and early on Saturday morning in San Juan Bautista where we visited Thompson & Morgan, Hem Genetics, Lambert, Vista Farms and Plant Source International who are exhibiting at Speedling.<\/p>\n
Yesterday our day began in Gilroy at Kirigin Cellars winery where Proven Winners is exhibiting its new introductions including the new succulent line that was announced several weeks ago.<\/p>\n
From there, we headed down the road to Syngenta Flowers to see what\u2019s new including the newly acquired dahlia line from Verwer Dahlia BV and then to Danziger. Next, it was off to Salinas to see the latest offerings from Westhoff, PAC, Beekenkamp and Plug Connection<\/p>\n
