Since 1968
At the very inception of the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens in 1968, volunteerism has been at our core. From our first Horticulture Manager to building plant collections, dedicated volunteers have been an essential part of our success.
Background checks are required!
In order to keep all volunteers, staff, and guests safe all personnel are required to undergo a national background check. If you haven’t completed one, please do so after you have completed the training modules and get the okay from the volunteer coordinator. Info below:
