We are happy to announce that the application for the 2017 National Garden Fellowship is now live.
The application and more information can be found here. This 10-week intensive Fellowship is located at the U.S Botanic Garden (USBG) in Washington, DC and is funded through the National Fund for the U.S. Botanic Garden (NFUSBG). This is an educational Fellowship that works closely with USBG Education Staff to facilitate the Hands on Plants Science (HOPS) summer program. During HOPS the National Garden Fellow learns how to prepare and run sixteen different hands on modules, as the National Garden becomes an outdoor classroom where urban students and teachers dissect flowers, learn how seeds travel, use microscopes, and analyze soil.
Applicants must be at least a rising college senior, preferably with a background in environmental education, plant-science, or horticulture. A $6,000 stipend is provided. This Fellowship is a unique opportunity to work with one of our Nation’s longest operating Botanical Gardens - an urban oasis located right in the heart of Washington, DC. The deadline for applications is Friday, February 2, 2018.
