This internship will allow a student to design and implement demonstration gardens for a high altitude community. There are three focus areas of the Plant select demonstration garden: 1) a community vegetable garden; 2) plant select landscaping demonstration/educational garden; and 3) an exploratory sensory garden for the Park Women Infants and Children (WIC)/Health Department visiting children. Visitors to the Bailey Community Center will have the opportunity to see an example of what they could plant at their own home, and grab a flyer, in the kiosk, that has the designs of the beds and how they are laid out, along with what plants are in the designs. The area will be divided up to give people examples of multiple garden themes, such as sensory garden, pollinator garden, xeriscape garden, alpine garden, native plant garden, and community vegetable garden. Once the designs are created the intern will partner with Park County Master Gardeners to put those designs into action at the Bailey Community Center.
