We are excited to welcome you back to our Ball Trials for 2025!
This year, we’re focusing on what we do best – showcasing product trials that highlight fresh introductions, proven performers, and practical insights.
A highlight of the program will be The Ball Lab, a new feature of Trials Week. Here you’ll find side-by-side growing comparisons, technical demonstrations, and our Plug Perfection standards in action, along with expert advice on scheduling, nutrition, and PGR use.
Visitors can also explore our allied supplier trade stands, featuring Norwood Industries, Garden City Plastics, Power Plants, Syngenta, PanAmerican Seed, Sakata, Takasho, IP Australia, Shapescaper, All Plants, and Outback Plants—making Trials Week a true one-stop shop for inspiration and solutions.
And to top it all off, enjoy a relaxed lunch each day with woodfired creations from our on-site gourmet pizza kitchen.
Open Days are: Tuesday 2nd - Friday 5th December 2024 / Open hours: 9am - 4pm
We look forward to seeing you!
