Horticulture Fellowship
Gain experience by working with the highly trained, top-notch horticulture staff at Newfields: A Place for Nature & the Arts. Students will spend time rotating through the horticulturists in The Garden, the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park, and the Madeline F. Elder Greenhouse, maintaining a diverse array of garden types.
This educational fellowship places an emphasis on gaining plant knowledge and experiencing hands-on work with highly creative plant experts. Intended learning outcomes include practical plant care, maintenance, collections management, and a basic understanding of garden design elements.
The Newfields Horticulture Fellowship accepts two students per 12-week, summer season on a rolling admission basis. The program runs from May through August, is a paid opportunity, and limited housing assistance may be available on a case-by-case basis.
