Do you know a student looking for a rewarding internship? Internships at Denver Botanic Gardens provide students with hands-on experience working alongside world-renowned researchers and horticulturists in a public garden.

Project-based and Meaningful 
Denver Botanic Gardens’ horticulture internships are project-based. For the duration of their tenure with us, interns are charged with completing or continuing meaningful work for our department, institution and field. Interns also work throughout the Gardens, gaining a crucial working knowledge of public horticulture collections stewardship. When conditions allow, interns participate in field trips exploring Colorado horticulture and the diverse ecosystems of the Rocky Mountain region. Additionally, interns are offered professional development opportunities through seminars and conferences, staff-led workshops and industry networking.
