2022 Summer Interns
Our summer interns do their fair share of sweating each season! Rain or shine, they do a great job keeping the plants growing well. Each has spent long and tedious hours weeding, watering, and doing an endless number of garden tasks. They worked under wet and dry, hot and cold conditions this year – but returned each day to do it again. Thanks to their efforts, the gardens are once again looking great!
