More Lenexa residents will soon have a place to grow their own vegetables, flowers and herbs.
Lenexa Parks & Recreation is working to create two new community gardens at Buffalo Meadows Park and Ad Astra Park for the 2027 gardening season. The new gardens are expected to significantly expand the number of community garden spaces available to residents.
Work is already underway at both sites. Crews are excavating the garden areas, preparing the soil and installing water service to support the new plots.
Lenexa currently has community gardens at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park, Electric Park and Scouting Park. The gardens have become popular with residents, and a waiting list is maintained for those interested in a plot.
More information about the new gardens, including how to apply for a plot for the 2027 season, will be available as plans develop.
