Nightingale, John A.   (fl. 1990s - 2000s)

John was on the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) staff between 1989 and 2003, working as a plant records officer, then in the nursery, and later as Gardens Supervisor and Living Collections Curator.

During his time at the Gardens John met his future partner and sometimes co-collector, Maggie Nightingale.

From mid 2003, Maggie and John lived and worked at the Alice Springs Desert Park where he had the position of Park Manager, but they returned to Canberra in early 2005.

They then purchased a small rural property in coastal south-east NSW.
