Horticulture Intern
The Holden Arboretum has a Horticulture Internship opportunity for the period April through September 2010. We are one of the largest natural arboreta in the United States. Established in 1931 on 100 acres of land, Holden manages more than 3,600 acres in Lake and Geauga counties, with 3,000 acres of natural areas and 600 acres of horticultural collections and displays, registering more than 16,000 plants and over 2,100 species.
Our internships offer students or recent grads the opportunity to experience various gardening responsibilities such as planting, transplanting, dividing, and maintaining a variety of woody and herbaceous plants. Pruning, deadheading, weeding, mulching, watering, fertilizing, and pest control are but a few of the other activities an intern may perform. In addition, on-the-job instruction, educational sessions and field trips are available as complements to academic study.
To qualify for a Horticulture Internship, you must be majoring in Horticulture or a related field of study in an accredited, two or four-year college program. Recent graduates of such programs who are looking for hands-on work experience may also be considered.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, résumé and three academic or professional references.
