Natural Lands is a non-profit organization that saves open space, cares for nature, and connects people to the outdoors in eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. We’ve been at it since the early 1950s and, today, nearly five million people live within five miles of lands under our permanent protection. 

Located in Villanova, PA, Stoneleigh: a natural garden is a 42-acre former private estate that opened as a public garden in May of 2018. The Stoneleigh Summer Horticulture Internship is designed to provide interns with broad experience in the operation of a public garden, with a focus on ecological horticulture. The intern will assist in the creation and maintenance of garden landscapes and natural areas and will receive a behind-the-scenes look at public garden design and management. The intern will also be expected to complete a horticulture related independent project.

This 12-week internship will pay $15 per hour and will run from May through August, primarily on a schedule of Monday through Friday, 7.5 hours per day. Some weekend or evening event support may be required.
