A new year tends to bring change in a number of ways, and this year is no different. We’ve revamped our schedule of our most prominent annual features, and I’d like to share some of those changes with you as we kick off 2021.

The biggest news is moving our annual Plant of the Year feature to August and changing the submission deadline. One thing we often heard was that it was a challenge to get submissions completed at the end of the year when everyone’s got a lot of things to finish while also trying to take time off for the holidays, so we’ve pushed it back to the end of January.
