From Patricia Collins, Director of Callaway Gardens:
We
have two exciting opportunities for students at Callaway Gardens!
For over 50 years
we have offered a Summer Internship Program. A number of our past
participants are now involved in the management of major gardens.
We
offer Internships in our Horticulture and Education Departments. Each
is an eleven (11) week program from late May through
early August offering practical work experience supplemented with
fieldtrips and a few classes. The Horticulture program is designed to
provide a well-rounded experience throughout the Gardens operations
including Horticultural Displays- indoors and in conservatories,
The Day Butterfly Center, Fruit and Vegetable Production, Gardens Trails
and Greenhouse Production. The Education program is a great experience
for students interested in public horticulture, extension service and
environmental education. Education interns
teach programs in natural history and home horticulture. Both
internships are invaluable for futures in Botanical Garden Management,
Landscape Design or Environmental Education. Students work 40-hour
weeks with some evening and weekend hours required for work
and study. We offer an hourly wage with housing available.
