Adkins Arboretum, a 400 acre arboretum in Maryland specializing in native
plants of the Delmarva Peninsula, seeks two environmental science or public
horticulture interns.  Interns will work with professional staff on garden
maintenance, plant propagation, and seed collection as well as plant record
keeping, plant community data collection, invasive plant removal, grounds
maintenance, and will assist with greeting the public, educational programs

project in horticulture, ecological research, or environmental education.

public programs are part of the internship.  This internship is an excellent
opportunity to gain a broad range of experiences working at a small
non-profit organization.
