Harvest Garden







It was an 80-degree Sunday with a cool wind. Perfect weather, and rare for late July. We needed to get outside. Not too far away, Powell Gardens just opened twelve acres of food gardens, the nation's largest edible landscape. Beyond the typical row crop, the garden artistically mixes vegetables, fruits and herbs in a beautiful landscape. At the edge, a cafe serves food made from picked-that-day produce.

After an inspiring walk, where I actually believe for a moment I can overcome my gardening dysfunction, we ate then walked the rest of the gardens, acres of flowers and waterfalls and a glass chapel.

Sometimes, you don't have to go far from home to feel like you are on vacation.

People who live around Kansas City are lucky to have such a beautiful place to visit. I am planning a trip to see the newest garden this weekend if it remains good weather. Such an inspiration to all gardeners and eaters!
