National Garden Bureau to manage California Spring Trials marketing, registration, website

The National Garden Bureau (NGB) has announced it will manage the California Spring Trials, formerly known as the “Pack Trials.” This marks a significant shift for the event, which has been a key fixture in the horticulture industry for over 50 years.

NGB will handle the event’s website, marketing and registration, aiming to streamline the process for participants. The goal is to enhance the overall experience, making it easier for industry members to connect with the breeding community through a unified event held across various locations in California.

The dates for the 2025 California Spring Trials are set for March 26-29, with the event’s website launching this fall and registration opening shortly after the new year. Future dates include March 25-28, 2026, with 2027 dates to be determined after the 2025 event.

Founded in 1920, NGB is dedicated to providing home gardening instructions and supporting its members through various programs and grants. For more information, visit the NGB website.
