Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden, Botanical garden in Kansas City, United States.
The Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden is a botanical garden in Kansas City covering two acres with brick pathways and limestone walls throughout. Five distinct sections showcase rotating seasonal plantings and contain thousands of specimens in various microclimates.
This garden was created in 2000 as a lasting memorial to two major philanthropists who shaped Kansas City's growth. Their contributions to the city extended far beyond this space and influenced many community institutions.
The garden bears the names of its founders and displays art that reflects their love of European gardens and travel. Visitors encounter bronze sculptures placed throughout the flowering beds and tree-lined sections.
The garden sits on Rockhill Road and opens daily from morning until dusk with no admission charge. Marked pathways make it easy to navigate through the different sections at your own pace.
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.
