Mercer Botanic Gardens partners with colleges, universities, and high schools to find motivated students who wish to conduct botanic and mosquito abatement research at our facilities. This year, Mercer is proud to showcase the work of student partners acquired through Harris County Precinct 4’s Intern Program, the Lone Star College – Kingwood Biology Honors Program, Shell Nonprofit Internship Grant Program, and ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program. Students and interns will present projects featuring education and interpretation of Mercer’s globally diverse botanical collections; propagation research for native milkweeds; propagation work for Mercer’s rare native plant conservation program; restoration of the Harris County Precinct 4 Prairie Dawn Preserve; and mosquito abatement research.
Mercer’s “Seeds for the Future” Internship was made possible through funding generously provided from the ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program to The Mercer Society. Mercer’s “Spring into the Creekside Ramble” Internship was achieved through generous funding from the Shell Nonprofit Internship Grant Program to The Mercer Society.
