Greenhouse GROWER recently ran a story about what stood out in our 2024 Plant Trials here at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and I thought you might find this interesting.

Climate in our area was variable throughout the summer. July was for the most part normal for temperatures and precipitation; however, August and September were very irregular. In August, the climate was very dry and hot, with high temperatures consistently above average (87.2°F) and 14 total days with temps above 90. At the end of the month, we experienced a seven consecutive day prolonged stretch of 90+ degrees, the longest streak since 2012. It was abnormally dry, with only 1 inch of rain in August (Cincinnati normally see’s 3+ inches of rain).  Read the rest of the article and view the slideshow here:   See What Stood Out at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden 2024 Plant Trials
