Email ami@cultivatekc.org, and after the tour is over I will track down the information in that article for you. There are a few sites in Johnson County on the tour - check out the map to see who and where! They would be good people to connect with.

Would appreciate any info. anyone might have! THX :) Would love to be involved in a community garden in the Overland Park area as I really now little about gardening and our yard is very small.

This is the unfortunate cost of offering the convenience of online purchasing and having a third party handle the credit card transactions. If you wish to purchase tickets directly, you can come to the Brookside Farmers Market and look for the Cultivate Kansas City tent or buy them at any of the pre-tour events starting on the 15th. If you know of an alternative online service that is free, please email us at farmstour@cultivatekc.org and we will keep it in mind for next year.

I opted for the "Print Your Own" option which claimed there were no additional fees. But, the service charge was added nevertheless. Why have an early bird price if it is still charged a fee, and I am printing my own? Ditch the ticket service you are using.

I am pretty new to the area and love finding new things to do. Especially when it is local farms, etc. My son is helping this year plant our garden and is excited to help.
