Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve offers paid summer internships to qualified applicants interested in native plant education, horticulture, and public gardens. The 134-acre Preserve in beautiful New Hope, PA features almost 800 species of Pennsylvania native plants along 4.5 miles of trails that traverse woods, meadows, ponds, and Pidcock Creek.

Interns work closely with the Education Coordinator and other Preserve staff to receive in-depth training in:

· Public education and interpretation

· Native plant propagation and planting

· Land and trail management

· Nursery and gift shop sales and operations

· Social media, marketing, and journalism

· History and ecological importance of native plant communities

Potential field trips to other botanical gardens, native plant nurseries, and natural areas are offered to round out interns' understanding of plants and public gardens. Interns attend educational programs at the Preserve and complete individual research or work projects for public presentation.

Who should apply: Applicants must have completed at least 2 years of college, or the equivalent, with a background and a strong interest in botany, horticulture, and/or related environmental studies. Applicants should be capable of heavy work including lifting, digging, and sustained walking in unpredictable and adverse weather conditions. In addition, applicants must be able to follow directions and job guidelines and write well.

Initial applicant screening will be based on this application and cover letter only. Final selections will be determined by phone/video interviews.

Please submit the application and cover letter via Google Forms by March 1, 2023.
