Once upon a time I was an intern here at RSABG. I look back
on my internship with great fondness. It was not only a time for new
experiences, learning, and growth, but it was also a summer full of camaraderie
with the other summer interns. For as long as I can remember (which is when I
was an intern about 13 years ago!) the Garden has had a fruitful summer
internship program. Each year we work with three to ten interns usually during
the summer months. We provide them with training in various garden programs and
they gain skills in several areas including herbarium curation, field botany,
seed collecting, plant propagation, and horticulture. It has been a highly
successful program with many interns going on to become professionals in related
fields. In fact several staff at RSABG got their start as RSABG interns!

Our summer internship program is growing, and this year we
have more than ten interns! I am excited to see the internship program flourish;
it is a program that is near and dear to my heart since I benefited from it
greatly. When I started my internship I didn’t know that I wanted to be a
botanist. I wasn’t even sure what kind of career I was wanted, but my mentors
at the Garden had such an infectious enthusiasm that I figured this had to be
the way to go. So here I am working as a botanist in the institution where I
grew up as a botanist and I’ve never looked back.
My mentors inspired me, not only to become a botanist but
also to seek my passion and find what drives me. It is now my duty to serve as
a mentor and it’s a great challenge but I find it endlessly satisfying and
rewarding. I am thrilled to work with eager and talented students and this year
is no exception. Internship training is unique because its all hands on. We’ve
trekked in the field together to document the flora of understudied mountains,
we’ve recovered old monitoring plots to track endangered plants, we’ve
collected seeds for preservation, and the interns have propagated plants that I
wish I knew how to propagate (I secretly want a second internship in the
nursery!). This is all in a day’s work at RSABG but its meaning is further
compounded when we are able to share the importance of our work with these
young colleagues.
In the next few weeks, I hope to have our interns share stories
of their summer with you. Stay tuned for their posts
