Oregon's 'Can Do' Women: Meet Amanda Staehely

From professional ballet dancer to nursery owner and industry leader, Amanda Staehely's journey has taken some unexpected turns!

Growing up surrounded by greenhouses in Canby, Oregon, Amanda seemed destined for the nursery industry. But her passion for ballet led her to a professional dance career before an injury brought her back to her roots.

Today, she and her husband, Wayne, own Columbia Nursery in Canby, where they've built a thriving business specializing in maples and conifers. Along the way, Amanda has served as OAN president and become a passionate advocate for Oregon agriculture.

For Amanda, it's about more than growing plants. It's about supporting the nursery community, standing up for the industry and helping ensure a strong future for the next generation.

In recognition of 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer, Digger is celebrating the remarkable women who have helped shape Oregon's nursery industry.

Oregon's 'Can Do' Women: Meet Kristin VanHoose

What started as a leap of faith in 1999 has grown into a thriving nursery business specializing in one of the most beloved plants — hydrangeas!

Along the way, Kristin has served as OAN president, helped navigate some of the industry's toughest challenges and built lasting friendships throughout Oregon's nursery community.

“The people are just amazing. Even though they are your competitors, they’re still your friends.”

Oregon's 'Can Do' Women: Meet Leigh Geschwill

Nearly 30 years ago, Leigh Geschwill traded the lumber industry for the nursery industry, helping grow F&B Farms and Nursery in Woodburn into a thriving wholesale operation.

Since then, she's worn just about every hat in the business, from sales and logistics to production planning, while also serving as OAN president and president of the Horticultural Research Institute.

For Leigh, one of the greatest rewards of working in horticulture is being part of something bigger.

What keeps her at work every day? “You get a real connection with nature. You just feel like you’re part of the ecosystem.” And, she added, “There are very few industries where you really are in a unique position to, generally speaking, be part of a solution.”

In recognition of 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer, we are celebrating the remarkable women who have helped shape Oregon's nursery industry.
