cultivating New England native plants in a nursery setting. As part of this experience,
interns assist in many facets of nursery operations, including propagation of
numerous species, retail plant sales, seed collection and processing, record
keeping, and public information duties. This is an opportunity to gain valuable
skills by learning from staff, coordinating volunteers, leading projects, and
participating in the development of an expanding nursery. Interns have the
chance to complete a special project of their interest, participate in
educational activities, network with professionals, and attend field trips.
