Leach Botanical Garden

Meet our New Horticulture Intern! My name is Rowan, and I’m a horticulture student at Clackamas Community College with a love of art and conservation. Having previously worked for the CCC horticulture department and in the Chuck Clemmons Memorial Garden as a student worker, I’ve developed a passion for gardens, especially native ones! I’m so excited to work with the wonderful people at Leach and contribute to a beautiful garden that educates and inspires others. I like to spend my free time practicing photography - you might find me outside pointing my camera at an interesting bug or flower!

This year’s internship is funded with support from the Columbian Garden Club, the Gary Simone Scholarship Fund and a foundation grant. Thank you for your support!
