2011 Garden Tour, "Plant Yourself in Lee's Summit"
June 7, 2011
The Master Gardener's of Greater Kansas City will hold their 2011 Garden Tour, "Plant Yourself in Lee's Summit", 9 am - 4:30 pm, June 10 and 11. Reflected by the title of this year's tour, all of the gardens are in the Lee's Summit area. Starting on a rock outcropping in extreme eastern Kansas City off Little Blue Road, and ending on another outcropping at Lake Winnebago, the seven gardens also include two lakeside homes in Lakewood, a large shady garden in east Lee's Summit off Colbern Road, and a color-filled yard in Saddlebrook. In addition, the mid-point of the tour is a new Master Gardener's project garden at the Gamber Center east of downtown Lee's Summit where people can take a break and view this national award-winning Community Center. All the gardens share the similarity of gardening in difficult areas such as heavy clay soil, shallow soil on rock outcroppings, and sloping yards, with each gardener finding their own unique solutions to these problems. Several of the gardens also feature edible gardens --mixed beds of flowers and vegetables. This newer trend in gardening allows home owners to have a beautiful yard and still grow vegetables in an attractive setting.
The tour is open to the public at a cost of $10 per person. Tickets are available now at multiple locations (pdf) throughout the Kansas City area and at the gardens the days of the tour. Cash and checks will be accepted at all outlets. Drawing for door prizes.
We will feature one of the seven gardens each month:
1. Gamber Center
2. Janeil & Garry's Garden
3. Dianna & Gus' Garden
4. Bob & Frances' Garden
5. Pat & Rodger's Garden
6. John & Linda's Garden
7. Bob & Sophie"s Garden
