I have had the pleasure of working as an intern at the Chicago Botanic Gardens when I was a
Junior and Senior in High School. I first was introduced to Chicago Botanic Gardens from the
program Science First. It was that program that ignited an interest in botany and the
sciences for me. At Chicago Botanic Garden I was able to gain much knowledge in the fields
of: gardening, environmental studies, conservation, pollution. The knowledge and skills
gained at the Chicago Botanic Gardens uniquely qualify for your open position.
Express your interest in working for the company or organization. Be specific about what you

I would love the opportunity to continue my relationship at The Chicago Botanic Garden. This
company cares about the environment, conservation, education and the community. It would
