Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden

Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden, Botanical garden in Kansas City, United States.

The Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden is a 2-acre botanic garden within Kauffman Legacy Park in Kansas City, Missouri, enclosed by limestone walls with brick paths and seating areas. It is laid out in five designs: the Allee, the Green Garden with its octagonal pool, the Orangery, the Parterre Canal Garden and the Secret Garden. It holds 7,000 plants, from vintage and modern perennials to shrubs, bulbs and trees.

The garden was conceived by Ewing Kauffman, founder of Marion Laboratories and the Kansas City Royals, and his wife Muriel, who died in 1993 and 1995 respectively; both are interred at the memorial site here. Their world travels inspired the design, which uses species from Canada and Missouri to reflect their two heritages. Daily care is carried out by local volunteers and gardeners in association with Powell Gardens.

The garden is named for Ewing and Muriel Kauffman, who are interred at the memorial site on the grounds. In the Parterre Canal Garden, two bronze figures by Kansas City artist Tom Corbin, Jazz I and Jazz II, stand in the long pool. Plantings draw on both their heritages, with species popular in Canada and Missouri.

The garden is part of the Kauffman Legacy Park, near Country Club Plaza and the main campus of the University of Missouri–Kansas City. Brick paths and seating areas run between the five sections, and the Orangery gives shelter on the north side of the Green Garden. Daily care is by local volunteers and gardeners working with Powell Gardens.

One section called the Orangery functions as a sheltered spot for visitors while housing citrus plants and seasonal flower collections during winter months. This creates an unexpected space where tropical specimens flourish alongside rotating displays.
