Love social media, storytelling, photography, and the great outdoors? Let’s grow together!

At Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, something is always blooming, growing, or happening! Our Marketing Department brings the Garden to life for our community by sharing the beauty of our plants, exciting exhibits, engaging programs, and special events.

As our Marketing Intern, you’ll help tell the Garden’s story through social media, photography, video, writing, and more. You’ll get hands-on experience, flex your creativity, and build real-world marketing skills while helping people discover all there is to explore at the Garden.

The Details

  • Paid internship: $16.00 per hour
  • Flexible schedule averaging approximately 20 hours per week with weekend hours required.
  • 150-hour minimum commitment per semester
  • A chance to turn your creativity and curiosity into hands-on experience!

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Make Some Social Media Magic: Help create, schedule, and monitor content for our social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Keep an eye on engagement too—including occasional weekend monitoring.
  • Tell Our Story: Research and write engaging content for newsletters, webpages, and other marketing materials.
  • Keep Our Website Fresh: Help update website content so visitors can easily find the latest information about Garden programs, exhibits, and events.
  • Capture the Magic: Take photos and videos that showcase the Garden’s beautiful spaces, unique experiences, and memorable moments.
  • Spread the Word: Share Garden happenings with tourism websites, media calendars, and other promotional platforms. Help our marketing team coordinate requests from reporters and photographers.

  • Keep Growing: Work with our Work-based Learning Coordinator on professional development and opportunities to reflect on what you’re learning.

What You’ll Bring

  • An interest in marketing, communications, public relations, digital media, or a related field.
  • Strong writing, editing, and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Have you created content for a business or brand? Even better!
  • Comfort using computers and an interest in learning more about photography and videography.
  • A willingness to learn tools such as Adobe Photoshop and WordPress. Graphic design skills are a bonus!
  • Good organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to juggle projects and meet deadlines.
  • A collaborative spirit, initiative, and the ability to work independently.
  • Flexibility to work occasional weekends as needed.

Your Background

  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • Associate degree preferred but not required.

You don’t have to know everything on day one. We’re looking for someone who is curious, creative, eager to learn, and excited to try new things!

Think of this as your own professional growth season! You’ll have opportunities to gain experience in:

  • Social media strategy, content creation, and audience engagement.

  • Website content management and digital communications.
  • Marketing and public relations in a nonprofit setting.
