Landscape Ontario and the University of Guelph are proud to host scheduled visits to the trial garden sites in Milton and Guelph for this year's Trial Garden Open House. Highlights include:
  • Large container trial comparing the performance of annuals in containers vs. the landscape.
  • A large multi-year perennial trial has been planted with more than 160 entries.
  • Pollinator research garden has also been planted to compare native pollinator activity on exotic and native plant species.
  • Display beds commemorating the 25th anniversary of the introduction of the Wave petunia.
  • Usual landscape trial for various annuals and our ongoing shrub and hydrangea trials.

IMPORTANT COVID-19 MESSAGE
Both sites feature a large, outdoor open space that is adequate for social distancing. Masks required. You must register for a specific session as attendance is limited. Please not the requirements for each site on their respective registration pages.
