Dr. Allan Armitage prolific writer, researcher and speaker, will lead the perennial flower walkabout at the Cornell Floriculture Field Day, July 20. At the University of Georgia, Armitage runs the research gardens where he evaluates new plant material from most of the flower breeders in the world.
The field day each year attracts floriculture professionals from around New York State and beyond to hear morning presentations from Cornell researchers and industry leaders, followed by an afternoon at Bluegrass Lane Landscape Research Center visiting flower trials, viewing entries in the Kathy Pufahl Memorial Container Contest, and more.
