My Garden Nursery Associate/Intern

My summer internship at My Garden Nursery has allowed me to learn and experience a different aspect of environmentalism, the consumer side of it. The job mainly consisted of helping customers pick the perfect plants and products for their gardens. This included soil and fertilizer recommendations for certain plants, treating plants of insects of diseases, animal repellent recommendations such as deer or moles, and weed treatment and/or prevention. In addition, helping customers pick out perfect plants based on the areas conditions, such as how much light there is, soil type, and more, was a big part of the internship. Restocking and pricing our salesfloor items was also included, as well as other small projects around the nursery. The main goal at My Garden Nursery is to bring a joyous and knowledgeable experience to the customers that come in, and establishing bonds so that they can start planning their next trip back as soon as they walk out the door.
