Amy's many hats:
I started in the spring of 2014 and here are some of the types of “hats” I have come to find myself wearing – you might hear me on the phone ☏ or you might get an email from me. I could be found meeting with customers at a coffee shop to check out the new plants for the coming year. I can be found working with the crew on the transplanting line or sticking cuttings in the winter, or pulling orders on the veggie team in the spring. Sometimes I can be found distributing beneficial insects or planting banker pots. At times I will be spotted helping to build a new greenhouse or to replace plastic roofing. I might spend some time wondering at the software program we use here. ;-P I also help with shipping, invoicing, Facebook, inventory, customer orders, new plant planning, the website, the collection of photos and organizing the catalog project!
The 2025 Staff story prompt was how do you use, (work with) plants? Here's Amy's response:
Most of the plants I bring home from the greenhouse are used for aesthetic purposes. To fill a container, become a treasured houseplant or to fulfill the curiosity of what it will look like when it matures. The other use for plants I bring home is for tea or garnish. I love having fresh chives or basil on hand in the summer and drying them for use in the winter. Dried Oregano on a cheese pizza really awakens the senses and nothing beats a bright steaming cup of Lemon Verbena tea when it's freezing cold and dreary outside.
