Oak Hill Natives Tour and Talk Members Only
Members Only Chapter Meeting Group Tour
Matt Leigh and Blake Boyer of Oak Hill Native Nursery have 11 acres of open greenspace with half acre area designated as their native nursery with 40-50 different species of native perennials and grasses, 30-40 tree species and 8-10 shrubs. Greenspace plantings include native shrubs, perennial forbs and grasses, and trees.
Matt is a certified arborist and will advise up on tree ID, right place right time in planting, best management practices in growing and pruning, along with how to protect your shrubs and trees from wildlife such as deer.
Matt and Blake are both horticulturalists by profession. They run the nursery, after their full-time jobs working on weekends and after work. They both enjoy working with plants and wanted to be a part of the movement of providing sustainable plants for our ecosystem. They will take you through the transformation of their journey and share tricks of the trade and challenges they have faced and struggles they predict going forward.
This event occurs after the showy growing season and their inventory will be “picked through” but there will be natives to purchase and take home with you.
