Herrontown Woods Internship
Princeton, NJ
$5,000
Green Matters funded the Friends of Herrontown Woods’s (https://www.herrontownwoods.org/) first summer intern in May 2024.
Sandy Shiff, now a junior at Boston University, started out with what all gardeners spend considerable time doing: weeding. A quick study, Sandy was soon potting up plants to sell in FOHW’s expanding plant nursery. Many native wildflowers pop up in the pathways of the Barden, begging to be given a new life somewhere that's not underfoot.
Sandy helped organize and label the rescued plants, which now sit in reused pots on reused pallets in the repurposed spaces of the Barden.
