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.

The Path is a Path

When we arrived this morning, the garden was almost impossible to navigate due to the mud. 4 hours later and a lot of hard work on the part of the Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City, the path is level and covered with mulch. We also spent some time building a raised bed for the blueberries (thanks to Chris for his generous donation of two bales of peat). Judy brought a ton of plants that were left over from the plant sale. Many of them were planted in the planter on the patio or in the ground around the patio. Many of them are left up for grabs for anyone who could put them to use. While we were there, we received delivery of 5 of our 8 benches from Beverlin's Statuary in Weston. They will finish the bench installation next week.
