Review:

Powell Gardens are Kansas City’s official botanical gardens, located approximately 45 minutes from the city center in nearby Kingsville. The 970-acre plot of land was originally developed by George E. Powell, Sr. in 1948 and has been historically used as a Boy Scout campsite, dairy farm, and agricultural resource center. Since 1988, the site has been cultivated into a garden facility showcasing more than 6,000 unique varieties of flowers and plants, including 225,000 plants highlighted within seasonal displays. Notable areas of the garden include its indoor conservatory, its dogwood walk, its island garden, and its Heartland Harvest Garden, the largest edible landscape in the country. Other attractions include the Marjorie Powell Allen Chapel, a 4,700-square-foot wedding chapel designed by E. Fay Jones.
