Team Terra Nova takes on CAST 2025
Every spring, the horticulture industry gathers for one of the most vibrant events of the year, California Spring Trials. This year, Terra Nova Nurseries displayed with its partner, ThinkPlants, at the Headstart Nursery. This event is fantastic for highlighting the new varieties that the company to offer, as well as a chance to see all that’s new to the market this year!
Libby Smith, Terra Nova’s sales office manager, hung out at the ThinkPlants tent, so you probably saw her around if you had a chance to stop by. She was there to answer any questions and highlight some of the plants and what makes them so exciting.
It was Ayla Stults-Lopez, assistant general manager, and Eleanor Jolley, trials manager, first time attending CAST, and they would be starting their journey at the Headstart Nursery then making their way down the California coast.

There was a ton to see at every location, and all the materials displayed were grown so beautifully. It gave you a good idea of how the plants grew and what made them so unique. Seeing the profusion of flowers on some of these displays left the company’s team awe inspired.
Overall, it was a great new experience for these team members. The team left with fresh ideas and inspiration for what’s possible.
