Fresh blooms, straight from the garden to your table. 🌸✨

The May issue of The Kansas City Gardener Magazine is here, and Horticulture Supervisor, Anne Wildeboor, is sharing her favorite tips for growing a cut flower garden you can enjoy all summer long!

Now’s the perfect time to visit, wander the gardens, and see what’s blooming. Stop by LongHouse Visitor Center to grab the latest issue (or read online: https://bit.ly/4uylcyZ) and start dreaming up your own fresh-cut bouquets.

Herbs & annuals are $1 off, plus a mix of shrubs and perennials still looking for a good home. Everything’s priced as marked, while supplies last!
