Summer Intern Program PGC in Partnership with Stonecrop Gardens

Stonecrop Gardens is offering a summer internship during the months of July and August to upcoming high school juniors, seniors, or graduating seniors. Stonecrop is a premier public garden known for its diverse and sophisticated collection of plants and gardens. Interns work alongside professional gardeners, gaining skills necessary to a professional in the field. Stonecrop is located in Cold Spring, off Route 301. The display gardens cover an area of approxiamtely 12 acres and comprise a diverse collection of gardens and plants including woodland and water gardens, a grass garden, raised alpine stone beds, cliff rock gardens, and an enclosed English-style flower garden. Applicants should have an interest in working with serious professional gardeners who are dedicated to their high quality of horticulture and to teaching interns.
