Volunteer Training Modules

Welcome to the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens Horticulture/Grounds Training Modules! This is a resource to prepare you for the service you will be helping us with by giving you some general training.

Below you will find links to training videos, a copy of the slide sets, and corresponding quizzes. Please watch the videos and complete all of the quizzes. Slide sets are also included if you would like to print them or follow along.

Please complete all training videos and quizzes before scheduling the first day of volunteering. Quizzes automatically notify the volunteer coordinator after submission. Reach out to david@iowaarboretum.org with any questions!
