Interns infuse energy and new ideas into our always budding Quad City Botanical Center. We are fortunate to receive applications from talented nature lovers attending neighboring institutions like Augustana College, St. Ambrose University, Scott Community College, Black Hawk College and Western Illinois University. Want to lead educational trainings about Zone 5 perennials and bushes or even develop a program from scratch? Or maybe you simply love the earthy scent of freshly dug soil and the accomplishment of pulling each and every pesky weed in the garden. We’ve got a place for you! Or pass on your love of the outdoors by helping children become passionate about conservation and proper care of our earth. The event calendar is always full at the Gardens and we can always use more hands in marketing and special events. If you have a sincere interest in exploring how your skills may benefit the Quad City Botanical Center, we’d love to talk to you! |
