Hands On The Heartland
Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

With more than 100,000 visitors each year, Powell Gardens is a popular day trip within the Kansas City area. Calling Powell Gardens simply a botanical garden wouldn’t be doing it justice.  Yes, Powell Gardens has garden displays for scientific and educational purposes but it’s much more than simply a botanical garden. These are exotic gardens on display within four major independent gardens and many smaller ones. Many of the presentations incorporate our own native plants throughout the acreages rolling hills, including the wildflower meadow.

Powell Gardens In Kansas City

Powell Gardens offers visitors year round educational opportunities, walking trails, classes, special events, a chapel and an indoor display conservatory.  Powell Gardens apparently doesn’t have a big problem with transients because they also welcome visitors to take a nap on of the many benches spread throughout the gardens.

Some of the major garden areas include the $9 million Harvest Garden, the Kaufmann Memorial Garden, a perennial garden, a waterfall garden, a wildflower garden and an island garden.  The Harvest Garden opened this year and includes a huge area of edible landscaping! Powell Gardens sits on more than 900 acres in Kingsville Missouri, which is just about 15 minutes west of Lee’s Summit MO.
