“We often talk about the Midwest spirit of place as being central to the Powell Gardens experience,” said CEO Cody Jolliff. “Powell Gardens represents so many of the best things about our region. Our botanical garden showcases the plants and landscapes that exemplify our region. The Gardens’ diverse programming highlights and celebrates the creativity, knowledge, and interests of our community. We believe Powell Gardens is an integral part of living in the Kansas City area, well worth the drive you may have to get here!”

Have you ever heard of (or tasted) the "prairie banana"? 🤠🍌
Pawpaws are America’s largest native fruit and Missouri`s state fruit tree. Ripeness can be detected by yellow skin, sweet fragrance, and becoming soft to the touch (think avocado). Pawpaw will fall from the tree when ready but can be encouraged with a gentle shake!
Scoop out the custard, discard the seeds and skin, and enjoy. The flavor is bright, tropical, and has a slight yeasty aftertaste.
Lace up your hiking boots! Powell Gardens has scenic trails for everyone to explore.
🌳 Family Discovery Loop (1-mile): Perfect for a leisurely stroll with little ones.
🌳 Secret Trail: Look for this hidden gem in the David T. Beals III Woodland and Stream Garden.
