An open house will be held at the Gardens at UGA, located on the campust of the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga., Saturday, July 11, 8 am- noon.

The Trial Gardens at UGA are nationally known for trialing annuals and perennials for the Southeast, and developing new plants for the Horticulture Industry. For example, you can find the Athens Select

plants and the new Southern

Living line of plants in the Gardens at UGA.

"If you really want to know what plants perform well in Georgia visit our Gardens in July and August to see which plants are thriving in our heat and humidity," states Trial Garden founder Dr. Allan Armitage.

Although this garden is open to the public year- round, this special open house on the morning of July 11 also offers a guided tour by Dr. Allan Armitage, plant sale, book sale and signing of Dr. Armitage's books, rain barrels for sale, area gardeners and UGA Horticulture Club members to offer advice, and new art in the garden.
