The University of Missouri Extension Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City have teamed up with the YMCA of Greater Kansas City and The National Golf Club of Kansas City to create the Platte County Community Garden. The Garden will serve as a place for residents of Platte County (and beyond) to enjoy the benefits of gardening in a group setting. The Master Gardeners will use three of the 33 plots to demonstrate vegetable production options. For 2011, the Master Gardeners have decided to install an Asian Garden as well as a traditional garden. The garden is administered by the YMCA through its Parkville Community Center. If you’re interested in signing up for a garden plot, call them at (816) 505-2622.



Note: All of the plots for the 2011 Summer season are reserved.

Our Plots are Planted (mostly) and The Water is On!

Today, several of us worked to prepare the three plots in the Community Garden that we will use to demonstrate vegetable gardening to the public. Ted (now known as "Tiller Ted") stayed quite busy with the tiller...Thank You. We also unloaded a truck load of compost into our beds. As we were finishing things up, we heard word that the water would be connected within a couple of hours. So we planted as much as we had. We still need to plant the lima beans, leeks, Judy's Peppers and Chris' Cucumbers, along with the entire South Garden. Not too long after that we watered everything in.
