People of the Preserve

2026 Summer Internship

Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve offers paid summer internships to qualified applicants interested in native plant education, horticulture and public gardens. The 134- acre Preserve in beautiful New Hope, PA features almost 800 species of Pennsylvania native plants along 5 miles of trails that traverse woods, meadows, ponds and Pidcock Creek.

Interns work closely with the education manager and other Preserve staff to receive in-depth training across the Preserve’s various departments including education, nursery, facilities and operations. Potential field trips to other botanical gardens, native plant nurseries and natural areas are offered to round-out interns' understanding of plants and public gardens.

Additionally, interns will complete individual research or work projects. Develop and present a PowerPoint lecture as part of the Thursday Night Nature series.
