Our undergrads are currently completing professional internships throughout the country. Over the next several weeks, each student will share a little about their internship experience.

I'm Steve and this summer I'm interning with Dr. David Douches at MSU in his potato breeding program. I have been extracting potato seed, preparing seed potatoes, and planting them at two farm locations. I am also helping with a grad student's dormancy project, and actual plant breeding.

Our undergrads are currently completing professional internships throughout the country. Over the next several weeks, each student will share a little about their internship experience.

I’m Shua, and this semester I'm interning in Ann Arbor, MI, working in the conservatory and several greenhouses full of both research plants and conservatory stock plants. Duties involve watering, assisting with pruning, planting annuals, and sweeping and weeding. We also help with other horticulture divisions, when we get caught up on conservatory upkeep.

Photo 1: This is my supervisor pruning excess branches off of a Banyan tree in order to introduce more light from the canopy. We planted coleus in this area later.

Photo 2: This is a pot of Lithops (living stones). This is grown in the desert house in the conservatory, and there are spares in the collections in greenhouse 1.
