Dear everyone,
I'm a new subscriber and would like to introduce myself. I'm a landscape architecture student in Budapest, Hungary, with a background in not-for-profit work for the poor, disadvantaged and homeless. My academic background is in art history. I came to Hungary as a Peace Corps volunteer six years ago and never managed to go home and now attend the University of Horticulture. I'd very much like to get practical experience working as an intern/researcher at an urban gardening organization. I'm willing to be involved in any kinds of projects at all levels as long as it provides practical experience and helps me with my thesis, which will be on using green space as a form of social care.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there! I don't know if i can help with internships but here in Seattle, Washington the Department of Neighborhoods has a great community garden program. I bet you'd get some good info from them on what's available. the web site is:
