Hi! My name is Jason Kern, and I will be serving with AmeriCorps Project Conserve as the Native Plants Garden Assistant at the Asheville Botanical Garden. I chose to serve with America Project Conserve because I wanted an opportunity where I could help my community flourish and enjoy the natural world.
Native plants has been a passion of mine for quite some time, so I am excited to help maintain and improve the Asheville Botanical Garden’s collection of over 700 native plant species! This space serves as a great educational tool for the community to learn the benefits and witness the beauty of the flora of this region. I am looking forward to improving space and sharing my love and curiosity for native plants with the greater community!
