Horticulture
Lawn and Garden Program
Maintaining attractive communities and home landscapes increases property values and promotes an improved quality of life. Whether you have questions about lawns, vegetables, flowers, or landscape maintenance, Extension information is available for all who live and work in Wyandotte County --homeowners, lawn services, and nurseries. We are prepared to provide you with non-biased, research-based information.
The Wyandotte County demonstration gardens display current horticulture practices related to flowers, gardening and composting. Our trained Extension Master Gardener volunteers help consumers with information about planting and care of lawns and gardens.
