The Longwood Gardens High School Summer Internship Program, a collaborative program with selected regional high schools, serves as a training ground for students to learn about horticulture and develop good work skills leading to a career in horticulture. The training during eight weeks of the summer requires the interns to be punctual, self-motivating, and work cooperatively with peers and supervisors.
The interns experience daily hands-on learning and participate in weekly field trips or lectures, often with the College Intern, International Gardener, and Professional Gardener Program students.
The program philosophy focuses on utilizing the vast resources of Longwood Gardens to develop in students a desire to learn and strive for a high level of quality and professionalism in horticulture.
