Help Us Grow

Since it started in 2001, the 6-acre Garden has been maintained and operated entirely by volunteer Master Gardeners, primarily from the Dakota County group of Master Gardeners. These Master Gardeners donate their valuable time and skills to a variety of tasks, from starting seeds to giving Garden tours to conducting University research. The Garden depends on the loyal support of these hard-working volunteers.

As well as the hard-work of volunteers, the Garden thrives on community support. There are many ways YOU can get involved!

• Give a tax deductible donation to the Garden
  • Contribute Online
  • Mail a contribution (pdf)
• Donate needed supplies from the Garden Wish List
• Become a Master Gardener
• And of course, visit and enjoy the Garden!

With the continued support of the community, the Garden will become even more useful for education and inspiration. Your gifts may go to support exciting future projects like the Water Garden (Spring 2005), the Landscape Design Display Area (Spring 2005), and the Forest ID Trail (2006).

The Garden is generously supported by:

• Toro
• Bailey Nursery
• Hedberg Aggregate
