  • Ball Takes Home Double Gold at Horti Fair 2008

    October 22, 2008

    Ball Horticultural Company, an international breeder, producer and wholesale distributor of ornamental plants, was off to a golden start when its booth presentations were awarded Gold — not once but twice — by the Horti Fair’s VKC committee.

    High scores of 9.25 in the Bedding Plant Presentation category and 9.6 in the Cut Flower Presentation category gave the company a double reason to celebrate.

    The presentation included a wide range of varieties from PanAmerican Seed Company, Ball’s own breeding brand.
