Intern, Horticulture, Canterbury Shaker Village, Canterbury, NH

Posted March 22, 2018

Canterbury Shaker Village is hiring a horticulture intern, with $1000 stipend and onsite housing, for summer 2018 (flexible start and end dates). Under the jurisdiction of the Education Department, the intern will gain practical work experience in Canterbury Shaker Village’s historic gardens.

Ideal for a self-motivated and independent student or recent graduate, the intern will work primarily with the Village’s herb garden, with additional time spent with the small pocket gardens scattered throughout the site.

Interns will be expected to spend time maintaining the existing garden while assisting with the development of a long term garden plan and interpretive materials that will connect the gardens to Shaker narratives. Interns will also work with their supervisor to choose a specific project that they can complete during their summer.

To apply, send a letter of interest, resume, and 2 letters of recommendation to Becky Soules, Daily Visitor & Youth Programs Manager at [email protected].

Applications will be reviewed as they are received; preferred deadline of April 15, 2018.
