Sophia Buchan is a junior at SFHS and a return intern at Santa Fe Botanical Gardens.“An internship at the Botanical Gardens involves a lot of outdoor work, like gardening and customer service when interacting with guests. It’s perfect for anyone interested in biology, horticulture, and environmental science! 🌿🔬 🌎🌳 I’ve learned so much—not just about gardening, but also about plant life and environmental impacts. During the school year, I work weekends from 9 am - 3 pm, usually helping with garden maintenance and tours. I’ve learned SO MUCH about plants and how to interact with guests. It’s been an amazing experience. “🌸🌱🪻🌼
