DOWNERS GROVE, IL – All-America Selections (AAS) has just released the 2019-2020 Annual Report reflecting the group’s activities from the past 12 months.

All-America Selections was founded in 1932 and continues as the oldest independent plant testing organization trialing exclusively in North America. Every year, never-before-sold varieties are trialed in our Trial Grounds where professional horticulturists determine which varieties will be deemed winners based on their garden performance. AAS relies upon a public relations program to inform gardeners about AAS Winners that are announced three times a year.
