As part of its online education event series, Proven Winners will be presenting a Landscape Roadshow on the afternoons of Feb. 9 and 11, 2021.

The program kicks off Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 3:00 p.m. ET, when representatives from Proven Winners annuals, perennials and shrubs will present “New Proven Winners Introductions for 2021 – Annuals, Perennials and ColorChoice Shrubs.”

A 2019 GPN 40 Under 40 recipient, Mathey completed her Masters of Science in Horticulture, Breeding and Genetics at Oregon State University and came to Spring Meadow in 2013. One of her first introductions for the Proven Winners ColorChoice line, ‘Peppy Le Pom’ ornamental pomegranate, received a 2019 Green Thumb Award by the Direct Gardening Association.

On Thursday, Feb. 11, Nelson Darden from Classic Caladiums will kick off the second day of the Roadshow at 3:00 p.m. with a program that features new varieties from one of the latest members of the Proven Winners family, Heart to Heart caladiums.
