Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture celebrates 25th anniversary
Twenty-five years ago, John F. Collins, FASLA, and a dedicated group of faculty built on 75 years of environmental education offered at Temple University Ambler to create prestigious four-year programs in landscape architecture and horticulture that have generated leaders in every field of the green industry. "I wanted students that would look at nature, not pave over it," said Collins in an interview during the 40th anniversary of Ambler Campus. "The thing that really excited me was the potential combination of horticulture and landscape architecture. I don't see them as isolated entities." That philosophy continues as Temple's Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture graduates its 25th class of landscape-architect students and celebrates the 25th anniversary of the four-year bachelor's programs in horticulture and landscape architecture.
