The Native Plant Society of Northeastern Ohio Awards

Jack and Florence Selby
The Gentian Award for 2019

---

Every year we designate a person to receive The Gentian Award. This year we are making two separate awards to persons who have made substantial contributions to the Native Plant Society of Northeastern Ohio. One award goes to Jane McCullam, who served on the board for close to fifteen years in various posts, and was instrumental in the creation of our quarterly journal, working closely with our the Society’s founder, Ann Malmquist.

The second award is granted to Jack and Florence Selby, long time members of the Society, for their dedication to the preservation of the native plants of Northeast Ohio. Jack was a prolific and expert photographer.

His entire slide collection has been donated to the Society.
