Onboarding

Welcome to the Ramsey County Master Gardener Volunteer Program!

We're so glad that you decided to join us in 2023. Your background check has cleared, your Safety of Minors training is complete, and you have registered to the Horticultural Core Course. Starting in January you will receive both the statewide and Ramsey County newsletter and invitations to volunteer events and activities. Early next year you will also receive a temporary name badge and t-shirt mailed to your home. (They might arrive in February.)

Before You Start

Before then, below are a few house-keeping items that we recommend tackling before you officially get started. These will help you hit the ground running in 2023.
