For the past two weeks, I’ve been writing about the All-America Selections (AAS) winners. The AAS program trials the plants at test gardens all over the country and judges rate the plants during the growing season. The Green Thumb Awards program winners have been announced, so let’s talk about them today.
Winners of the 2023 Green Thumb Awards (GTA) were chosen by an independent panel of National Garden Bureau members who are garden writers, breeders, retailers, brokers, and growers. The winning products were selected based on their uniqueness, technological innovation, ability to solve a gardening problem or provide a gardening opportunity, and potential appeal to gardeners. The awards are sponsored by the National Garden Bureau (NGB), a nonprofit organization that exists to educate and inspire home gardeners.
