Gathering in Gardens: Comparing Public Horticultural Spaces of New England

This panel compares public horticultural spaces in New England by showcasing presenters' work at the Mount Holyoke and New England Botanic Gardens.

Our conversation aims to highlight our experiences and insights gained at each organization while working with curated living collections. On top of regular responsibilities, each of us worked on independent projects to apply and develop our horticultural knowledge and skills, while furthering the missions of both organizations. Learn about responsibilities at both gardens, living experiences, and professional skills gained by interns. If you have an interest in botany, conservation, education, or community work, this panel is for you!
