We aim to study lesser-known plants by obtaining seeds, establishing germination protocols and cultivating the species, with the end goal of introducing mature plants into an established pollinator habitat on campus and monitoring their success over time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-landscape-image wp-image-287 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/243\/2024\/10\/Native-Plants1-464x348.jpg\" alt=\"Native plant seeds in a tsble.\" width=\"464\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/243\/2024\/10\/Native-Plants1-464x348.jpg 464w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/243\/2024\/10\/Native-Plants1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/243\/2024\/10\/Native-Plants1-232x174.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plant species: <\/strong>Over 100 different native grasses, forbs, shrubs, succulents, and tree species<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding source<\/strong>: NAU Research Greenhouse<\/p>\n<p><strong>Collaborators: <\/strong>NAU Research Greenhouse, NAU SNAIL Garden, Museum of Northern AZ<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participants:<\/strong><br \/>\nAdair Patterson, NAU Greenhouse Manager<br \/>\nNicholas Quayle, NAU Greenhouse Assistant Manager<br \/>\nJacqueline Miller, NAU Greenhouse Student Assistant<br \/>\nJoseph Chirwa, NAU Greenhouse Student Assistant<br \/>\nRadhika Jones, NAU Greenhouse Student Assistant<br \/>\nLaura Davis, Michael Moore Native Medicinal Plant Garden Master Gardener Coordinator<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germination and Horticulture of Understudied Native Species in the Flagstaff Area Of the hundreds of native species found in Northern Arizona, only a small percentage have been well researched and used in restoration efforts.
