We have a small, dedicated crew of volunteers who help us around the Conservatory. We are very grateful for the extra attention they give to our plant collection. 

We ask that volunteers devote a three-hour window on a weekly basis between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday-Friday. Volunteers will engage in a wide range of tasks including repotting plants, planting seeds, taking cuttings, and pruning. Volunteers may also assist in conducting research on plants in the collection, creating signage and coordinating tours for visitors.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact Jared Rubinstein at rubin097@umn.edu or call 612-625-4788.
