The Commercial Growers of Wisconsin (CGW), formerly the Commercial Flower Growers of Wisconsin (CFGW), is a diverse group of wholesale & retail business owners, employees, and other advocates dedicated to the horticulture and floriculture industry. Established in 1953 out of Milwaukee, the CGW has expanded to include all greenhouses and growers throughout the state that are interested in improving their plant production and marketing practices.

Calling all members! Join us for this year's CGW Field Day to be held Thursday, August 5th at the UW West Madison Agricultural Research Station. A day of education followed by an exclusive tour of the trials featuring over 230 varieties of Euphorbia, Bidens, Lobelia, Scaevola, Angelonia or Argyranthemum!
