Megan Jacoby was recently awarded the 2021 Minnehaha County Master Gardener scholarship in honor of Dr. Graper.
Regan is a junior horticulture student from Vesta, Minnesota, and has worked for the city of St. Cloud, Minnesota, as a garden employee at Munsinger-Clemens Gardens. At work, Regan is responsible for designing and planting beds, managing watering systems, caring for the resident peacocks and taking care of any maintenance needed in the garden.
She also welcomes and interacts with the public and garden visitors. Her favorite part of her internship so far is designing the garden beds.
“Imagine an entire greenhouse – a large one filled with plants, and you get to design a bed with whatever you can find there,” says Regan. “The staff has given me a lot of freedom to design and be a part of the planting process. I equally enjoy the people I get to work with and learn from. I have an amazing mentor who is a master gardener and has been with the gardens for upwards of 12 years.”
Congratulations to Regan – and her blossoming career!
