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. 

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.
