This is it! Last call! The final Collins Nursery Open Day for the season is Saturday, October 17, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.! Please note: All purchases may be made with a credit card or checks. The Collins Nursery will be unable to accept cash.

In this video, Sam Makler, Nursery Manager of the Collins Nursery of the Ambler Arboretum, places a spotlight on Fringed Gentian (Gentianopsis crinita)!

“This is a rather unusual sort of rare species that is a biannual in the Gentian family,” said Makler. “For folks who would want to incorporate this potentially at home, we grow this out for conservation and restoration projects.”

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!

Michael Bavas, Senior Technical Support Specialist at Temple Ambler unquestionably has an inquisitive mind. An avid reader and global traveler, Bavas is a technology expert constantly striving to increase his knowledge in the field and beyond as he works on completing an MBA degree at the Stevens Institute of Technology.

Bavas can now add a few more appellations to that list — researcher and conservationist.

“I recently began consulting with the Pró-Onça Institute as a conservation data and spatial analysis specialist, supporting their mission to protect jaguars and their habitats across Brazil’s critical ecosystems, including the Pantanal wetland region,” he said. “Jaguars play a vital role as apex predators, helping maintain ecological balance and biodiversity.”

In this role, Bavas said, he assists with organizing and analyzing conservation data, contributing to spatial mapping efforts and “translating field research into meaningful insights using GIS, data analytics and statistical tools.” Read more using the link in bio!
