In Progress

Jessica Blohm, a University of Massachusetts graduate in natural resources, comes to us from the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, where she has worked as a horticultural intern, greenhouse apprentice and, most recently, a gardener of living collections. Jessica hopes the fellowship will help her expand her knowledge base so that she will be better equipped to manage and create public gardens. Further, she wants to encourage appreciation for the beauty of public gardens, in order to foster a sense of deep responsibility for the environment.
