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.

Master Gardener Demonstration Gardens

The vegetables in the 2 master gardener demonstration gardens are doing very well especially with the rain we have been having. Most of the seeds have germinated and are sprouting as shown in the pictures. The little celery plants, tomatoes and peppers are flourishing. Most of the other plots have been planted with a variety of vegetables and flowers by the other gardeners and it really looks like a community garden.
