Summer Youth Internship 2008
This week-long session will provide students interested in science, plant-life and conservation, the opportunity to learn and work side-by-side with the staff of BBG. Together we will explore aspects of plant life, sustainable garden practices, conservation, and related environmental challenges. Students will be working with staff on garden projects, student initiated topics, and using the library in conjunction with topics. Topics include:
• Plant morphology and identification—what is a weed? • Alpine plants and Rock Gardening • Germination of Seeds • Carnivorous Plants and the insects they eat! Each day includes extended opportunities for hands-on learning, working in the garden and greenhouse, personal attention by our staff, and the opportunity to build friendships with fellow students.
