The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum includes approximately 100 full-time and part-time, and 100 seasonal employees who work in areas such as plant collections and grounds, tree research, education, visitor services, visitor marketing and communications, retail sales and administration. Employees come from diverse backgrounds but have in common a commitment to the mission of the Arboretum:

The mission of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, as part of the University of Minnesota, is two-fold : To be a growing resource for horticultural information, plant conservation, research and education. To inspire and delight a growing visitorship with outstanding displays, collections and natural areas.
