NGB to Host Spring Trials Trip for Garden Bloggers

National Garden Bureau (NGB) is again hosting five garden communicators’ travel during the 2016 California Spring Trials.

In 2015, for the first time, NGB arranged for several prominent garden bloggers/writers to travel the California Spring Trials to introduce them to the origination point of many of their favorite plants.

Following last year’s success, another five bloggers are planning to meet the many breeding companies that participate in the California Spring Trials then blog about the event and the varieties they see.

The garden communicators attending the 2016 Spring Trials are:

• Amy Andrychowicz, Minnesota – Blog: Get Busy Gardening
• Kylee Baumlee, Ohio – Blog: Our Little Acre
• Melinda Myers, Wisconsin – Blog: Melinda Myers Growing Among Friends
• Jenny Peterson, Texas – Blog: J Peterson Garden Design
• Christina Salwitz, Washington – Blog: Personal Garden Coach

Each writer has an impressive resume of books, speaking engagements, social media followers and more, NGB said.

During the week of April 9-14, follow the activities and photos by using the hashtag #NGBplantnerds on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
