UGArden Compost Internship
The Office of Sustainability at UGA sponsors a Compost Internship at UGArden. This intern manages the farm composting system with the help of our resident Master Gardener, Bert Richards. They learn how to drive and operate a tractor so they can grind and turn the pile, while also recording temperatures and assisting with general farm tasks. Learn more about this position through the Office of Sustainability’s website.
