Join the CCMGA for their February 2021 monthly chapter meeting on Thursday, 2/25/2021 at 6:30pm and hear a special guest presentation on “Houseplants: Gardening Indoors” with Ann Amato. Open to Master Gardener volunteers and members of the public, too!
About our guest speaker: “Ann was born in Portland, OR and grew up in Milwaukie just outside of the city. Calling herself a Spaghetti-Westerner she’s an Oregon Trail descendant and an Italian-American. Her Sicilian family arrived in the Portland area in the 1890s and worked in the produce industry for several generations. She is one of several cousins who now work in horticulture. Ann works as a propagator and is a seed seller. At Cistus Nursery, she is Sean Hogan’s seedstress working specifically with his collections as well as other crops. At Secret Garden Growers in Canby she works as a propagator and does production work too. Ann has a BA with a double major in English literature and art history from PSU and has studied horticulture at Clackamas Community College. In addition to writing her blog Amateur Bot-Ann-ist she is the current President of the Mt Hood Gesneriad Society (a chapter of the Gesneriad Society) and is involved in many other plant societies. For fun she loves to explore natural areas and travel.”
