Garden Education Volunteer Program

of Ramsey County Minnesota

Same Mission; New Name

Garden Education Volunteers

The University of Minnesota Extension, in collaboration with Ramsey County leadership, has renamed the Master Gardener Volunteer Program within Ramsey County. Starting in 2026, we are the Garden Education Volunteers of Ramsey County.

New name; same passion, same dedication, and same credentials as Master Gardener volunteers in other parts of the state. The name update reflects the ways we support our neighbors in a way that reflects the trust and comfort we hope all community members feel when working with us. We continue to use research-based knowledge to develop collaborative relationships that emphasize the important role of plants and horticulture, and the impact on local ecosystems in all Minnesota communities.

If you have more questions, please contact the University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program directly at rcname@ umn.edu.
