Michigan Plant Tour Will Be Ready & Waiting for Visitors

Jennifer Zurko

The 18th annual Michigan Garden Plant Tour, which will run from July 26 to August 6, offers commercial growers, landscapers, public garden employees and other industry professionals the opportunity to learn about new and existing ornamental plant selections from the major breeding companies and to better understand how they perform in different outdoor settings. The tour is a coordinated open house of leading ornamental young plant producers (Four Star Greenhouse, Mast Young Plants, Pell Greenhouses, Raker-Roberta’s Young Plants and Walters Gardens) and the Michigan State University (MSU) Horticulture Gardens.

The tour is completely free, but check the tour website at canr.msu.edu/planttour for specific times, RSVP requirements and other information for each site. The tour’s Facebook page (@miplanttour) also features numerous photos and details about each of the gardens. GT
