Support the Arboretum

The "Nasturtiums" Garden Volunteer Corps

The Nasturtiums is the name given to our team of dedicated Arboretum Garden Volunteers. They help us by planting, weeding, trimming, removing invasive species, and much more. Our gardens wouldn't look as beautiful as they do without their time and energy. Arb Garden Volunteers enjoy socials and "group work" occasionally, but each volunteer can set their own unique schedule, working as often as they like. If you are interested in volunteering in the Arboretum and joining the Nasturtiums, please contact us at arboretum@gustavus.edu . 

Gustavus Student Organization Volunteers

If your student group is interested in volunteering at the Arboretum, please contact arboretum@gustavus.edu to inquire about events we could use your help with throughout the school year! Past student volunteer events have included: invasive species pulls, mulching, tulip planting, help with garden beds, providing support at our events.
