Field Trip: Dorena Plant Materials Center Tour
Leader: Michelle Osgood, Assistant Nursery Manager
Location: Dorena Plant Materials Center, Cottage Grove, Oregon
Michelle Osgood, the Emerald Chapter’s March speaker, will lead a ninety-minute tour of the greenhouse complex outside of Cottage Grove, Oregon. This is a U.S. Forest Service facility where native plant materials are collected and grown out in containers for restoration projects. We’re hoping that many of the seeds that Michelle and her colleagues planted last fall will be flowering this month. Michelle will also show us the fern species she is propagating. Meet at South Eugene High School at 19th and Patterson Street in Eugene to carpool or meet at the Plant Material Center at 9:00 am. Sign up here.
