The Green Industry offers plenty for the up and coming generation to be excited about—it’s hands on, lets you grow things, play in the water, dig in the dirt, and spend lots of time outdoors!
If you have a passion for plants, or a genuine curiosity for what makes things grow, this is a great place to get your start. Check out our opportunities for internships, learn more about the industry, and find great resources and activities for you and your family.
Whether you are a budding horticulture enthusiast or a family with a deep seeded passion for plants and nature, nothing is better than allowing these passions to thrive!

An internship is a great way to learn more about what you want your future to look like! Many of the people who work in the Green Industry were drawn to it for different reasons. We have people who excelled in science, who are now Horticulturalists, Plant Scientists, Botanists, and Growers. We have designers that spent their days doodling and dreaming about what the world could look like if they were in charge—who are now licensed landscape architects & designers or who work on a marketing team promoting the industry! Some of us never grew out of desire to climb trees and we now are employed as Arborists, who care for trees to keep them healthy and safe! The possibilites are endless in this industry and the options are anything but boring. If you are looking for a career path that involves more "out of office" opportunities, this might be the industry for you!
