The Communication Connection
Hi! I am Renee, the entomology intern. I am an Agriculture Communications major, which is pretty different from what I’ve been doing here at the Gardens. Even so, it’s amazing how much communication is involved with my position here.
The Butterfly Wing relies heavily on volunteers to docent (help guests by monitoring the wing, explaining the rules, and answering questions). When we are lacking volunteers, someone from the entomology staff usually fills in. I spend a few hours a week on average interacting with guests of the Butterfly Wing.
Docenting in the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing
I had the opportunity to help with a Growing at Reiman Gardens video about our gnome show. Check it out HERE http://www.reimangardens.com/en/monthly_videos/ I got to help with some of the filming, editing, and even narrate the video.
My individual project for the internship program was a communication project as well. I created audio tours for the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing and recorded them. They will be available for download from the butterfly tab on our website very soon!
This may not have been a typical Agriculture Communications internship, but there sure was a lot of communication involved! And entomology is an important part of agriculture. I liked working with insects so much I decided to add an entomology minor to my degree.
