Behind the spectacular views and inspirational vistas, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum boasts some impressive numbers: hundreds of hours of acclaimed educational programs each year, thousands of colorful blooms and millions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetable research. It all adds up to a growing and vibrant nationally and internationally renowned institution.

The Arboretum relies on the generosity of the community to fund its operation and to ensure its ability to educate, inspire and reach out to families across the state. Every member contributes to the Arboretum's future with a portion of membership fees going toward maintaining the grounds, delivering engaging programs and providing interactive activities. Volunteers are a vital part of the Arboretum.  Whether giving tours, pitching in to pull weeds or getting their hands dirty, volunteers help the Arboretum grow. Financial benefactors who donate anywhere from $15 to $15,000,000 are making the Arboretum thrive.

Because of the gifts the Arboretum receives each year, it is able to make a greater impact on the lives of growing numbers of children and adults each year.  The Arboretum relies on the generosity of friends, donors and community members and invites everyone to give to the Arboretum and help it  bloom. Each part of the Arboretum, from timbers and bricks to programs, people and plants, is dedicated to serving Minnesotans and the generosity of members and donors makes it all possible.
