Volunteering to "Learn More", Monthly Meetings 2023, SignUp Genius - SWAP Feature
Message from the Coordinator
The gardening season is upon us. What an exciting and busy time of year! I know many of us are busy planting and maintaining our home gardens. In addition to our home gardens I know many of you are volunteering and contributing in so many ways. THANK YOU for sharing your time and talents with the Ramsey County Master Gardener Volunteer Program and the residents of Ramsey County.
Remember to take time for yourself and your families. Relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the gardens and natural areas around you.
