  November 21

  Tales From a Plant Explorer and Breeder,
  With Jeremy Spath
  

  In-Person, Oasis, Rancho Bernardo
  1:30p -3:30p

  
  

  Driven by a passion for discovering exceptional, rare, and new agave species, Jeremy Spath has spent the past 20 years exploring the natural habitats of agaves across the Americas. His journey began with a deep fascination for seeing these remarkable plants in their native environments, inspiring countless expeditions to uncover the beauty of agave habitats. His expertise extends to cultivating these plants, with a particular focus on selecting and growing exceptional clones.

  Jeremy’s career took root at the San Diego Botanic Garden before he transitioned to Rancho Soledad Nursery in Rancho Santa Fe, California. There, he specialized in hybridizing agaves, creating new and stunning plants for the nursery. Today, Jeremy owns and operates Hidden Agave, his own nursery in Escondido, California, where he continues his work in growing, hybridizing, and tissue culturing agaves. His passion for these plants drives him to constantly seek out the diverse and captivating habitats where they thrive.

  Jeremy is also an accomplished author, recently publishing the second edition of his book Agaves: Species, Cultivars, & Hybrids, co-authored with Jeff Moore of Solana Succulents. This comprehensive 350+ page book delves into the world of agaves, both in cultivation and in their natural habitats, featuring over 1,500 images and in-depth information on various species, cultivars, and hybrids, including many newly discovered ones. The book is available on his website, hiddenagave.com.

  Note: Jeremy will have select plants and pottery available for purchase at this meeting.
