Description

Welcome to Our Project

The first step to growing a great garden is to sow great varieties.

To identify the best varieties for gardeners in North Dakota, we need to test the varieties in the gardens of North Dakota.

North Dakota State University is working with over 350 families this year to evaluate promising vegetable and cut flower varieties in their gardens. Results of this research will be published in December 2025.
