Nationally recognized landscape architect John Collins was the founding Chairman of Temple’s four-year Landscape Architecture and Horticulture programs. The Collins Nursery at the Ambler Arboretum is a homecoming, preserving Collins’ legacy at the campus where he made such an impact in so many students’ lives.

The Collins Nursery offers familiar native plants, but also aims to expand the current available palette of native plants in the region to include some less well-known species that will add to the diversity and interest of the home landscape!
