The Gardens at Ball are open
Our annual Ball Seed Field Day & Landscape Day has been reinvented to accommodate a wider range of open dates so we can welcome guests safely with adequate social distance. Join us this Summer in The Gardens at Ball in West Chicago, IL for Ball Seed Customer Days, which will run Tuesdays through Fridays, July 28-August 14, in two daily visitor time periods: 8am-10am and 10am-Noon.
We hope you take advantage of one of the few Summer trials that are open to the industry. Seeing the latest product introductions for annuals, perennials, vegetables, tropicals, shrubs & More will get you in the game for 2021.
What to expect when you arrive
Upon arrival to The Gardens, guests will be asked to wear facecoverings at the sign-in tent and observe 6-ft. social distance with other touring groups in accordance with CDC guidelines. A boxed lunch and light literature will be provided. Due to COVID-19 and ongoing campus construction, additional tours of the Ball facilities are not available. A map will share directional guidance for timely touring.
Through self-guided tours guests will see the newest plant introductions in-bloom in The Gardens at Ball. In addition, three-digit discovery codes placed throughout the grounds will give visitors access to a broader digital experience through video, product details, and other downloadable information -- right on their web-enabled mobile devices.
