About Amelia

Contact

Amelia grew up gardening beside her mother in Macon, GA. In Washington, DC, where she has lived and gardened for more than a decade, she embraces the challenges of urban gardening all year round in her NE DC potager.

​

A potager is a kitchen garden planted with vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers, designed to be both useful and ornamental.

​

Amelia follows research-based gardening practices through the lens of conservationism. She chooses vegetable varieties that are productive for our changing climate and in small spaces.

​

Amelia has been active in the Washington, DC urban gardening community as a volunteer with Capital Area Food Bank, Washington Youth Garden, DC Greens, UDC CAUSES, and multiple school gardens.
