Description:

The Internship Program at the Garden is open to high school and college students in New York City.  The Program matches talented youth with an interest and looking to pursue a career in the environment, public gardens, and non-profit organizations.  We offer a variety of opportunities for students to gain valuable, professional experience working in horticulture, landscape architecture, and science education.  With an audience that speaks over thirty languages, it is important that interns at QBG reflect the same diversity.  The internship experience is unique in its emphasis on building cultural connections through plants.
