with Grounds Management Operations are designed for students who seek work-related experience in a public garden with a diverse workforce. Internships that focus on the Smithsonian gardens and greenhouse operations include regular horticulture maintenance
duties such as planting, watering, weeding, and pruning. Special projects are typically added to an intern’s regular duties so that they can practice project management skills needed to see a project through from start to finish. Projects vary greatly and
are determined on an individual basis. They may include everything from record-keeping, analyzing ecosystems and researching nomenclature to turf management and public programming. Interns will have the opportunity to network with a team of professional landscape
architects, horticulturists and gardeners responsible for the design, installation, and maintenance of seasonal and permanent plantings on the Smithsonian campus.
