My neighbor and I are looking for an intern from your department who could help us with our gardens this summer. We live in Manchester. Both of us have extensive gardens that need more care and maintenance than we are able to manage currently. We would like to hire someone who has experience but who also wants to learn, as both our gardens are quite established. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much.

Hi Terry,

Thank you for reaching out to us at the UNH Extension Yard & Garden Infoline!

UNH no longer has any landscape focused academic programs, but you might check in with the few schools in the state who do like NHTI or Antioch. That said, even though UNH doesn’t have landscape programs, students may be interested! You can post internships/jobs on UNH’s job board, HandShake, here: https://www.unh.edu/career/employers/jobs-internships-employers

The New Hampshire Landscape Association also hosts a job board here: https://nhlaonline.org/job-opportunities/

Here is also Nicole French-Wollen (<personal data hidden>) contact information. She is the Community Engaged Internship Program Coordinator for UNH Extension. She'd be the best person to contact moving forward!

In the future, our Yard & Garden Infoline would also be happy to provide you with research based, educational materials if you'd like more resources on various yard & garden topics. We're here to help all NH residents (and beyond) with your questions and to make sure your gardens can thrive!

Feel free to contact us in the future with any residential yard & garden questions. We have an amazing Education Center volunteer/staff team here that are ready to help!

Good luck and have a great rest of your week.
