18 Broadway Pantry Garden

18th and Broadway, Kansas City, MO

Extension Master Gardeners maintain twenty raised beds and several huge concrete planters of vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers on the upper tier at the northwest corner of this beautiful city block, just below Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.  Our goal is to educate and inspire visitors on the use of the space and how to tend their own gardens.  Volunteers from other Kansas City organizations and businesses maintain 81 high intensity food production plots on the site’s lower tier.  All food grown at 18Broadway is donated to Harvesters’ Community Food Network of Kansas City. The garden’s design demonstrates sustainability through renewable energy, storm water management and food production.
