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 Patio is Installed!

From solid soil, we spread crushed gravel, compacted it, added landscape fabric and a layer of sand. Then we arranged the flagstones and filled in the spaces with more sand. Now, thanks to the very hard work of some dedicated Master Gardeners, along with some knowledgeable friends (thanks James, Eric, Adam, and Jim), the Platte County Community Garden has a patio. We also have the Platte County Parks & Recreation Crew and their Bobcat to thank along with Homestead Landscaping Materials for helping with this project. Of course we couldn't have done any of it without the grant from Platte County Parks & Rec. Next stop - Benches.
