AZ Native Plant Society Meeting

 

Amelia Blake - Propagating Native Plants

Growing uncultivated plant varieties can be challenging, they often have seed dormancy, unique soil needs and don’t grow well in containers. Because of this, many native plants are not available in the nursery industry and native plant enthuses are left to cultivate their own. Amelia will discuss strategies for successful native plant propagation.

Amelia Blake is co-owner Lily of the Field Nursery which focuses on growing native and heirloom plants that are especially well adapted to the Flagstaff area. Amelia spent her childhood working with plants at the NAU Research Greenhouse during her father’s stint as greenhouse manager. She received her B.S. in Plant Sciences from the University of Arizona in 2014. She then worked at Native Plant and Seed for 3 years before opening Lily of the Field Nursery in 2020 with her husband. She sells at most of the local markets, runs the Gardener’s Market in east Flagstaff each spring, and sells by appointment from their home in the Upper Greenlaw neighborhood.

The meeting will be held at 7 PM on the third floor of the NAU Biology Building on North Campus. For a map of campus, access below:
