I tried posting this once, but I don't think it went out.  If this is a 
repeat for you, please forgive me.

I am posting this resume for a friend.  She is currently working as a 
community horticulture intern at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, but she 
will be moving to Boulder at the end of October.
 
Please feel free to forward this resume to anyone you happen to know in 
the Boulder area working in environmental education, botany, 
horticulture, or ecology.
 
For more info, try calling her at home, at the BBG (718-622-4433), or

I would have her contact the Colorado Greenhouse Grower's Association in
Denver and ask for a free copy of the 1996 Rocky Mtn. Horticulture Buyer's
Guide. This has a listing of most of the commercial greenhouse and garden
center's, ect.; in the state listed. Then have her mail out plenty of
those resumes. Telephone # is 1-303-427-8132

Good Luck, she'll like it here in Colorado!

Well, even if she can't get a horticulture job, she *is* moving to the
running capital of North America!

p.s. Have her write to the Denver Botanic Garden -- maybe Panayote
Kalais (or however he spells his name these days) in the alpine gardens
can give her some pointers...
