Powell Gardens


Powell Gardens, located in Kingsville, Missouri has something for everybody. There's a 12 acre lake, water gardens, woodland plants, a wildflower meadow, and a hiking trail. Some other attractions to see are North America's longest living wall, the nation's largest edible landscape, known as the Heartland Harvest Garden, and a giant ant.


There are special exhibits, too, that change with the seasons, keeping visitors returning throughout the year.

 The gardens are open daily, year round. Hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Cost of admission for adults is $10.00, and for children, $4.00.

  2. Hi Sherry - the longest living wall .. sounds like a hedge, while the largest edible landscape ... sounds like a meadow of watercress - I'd be happy there for a while! Love that ant though ... I'd be intrigued to visit too if it wasn't so far away .. cheers Hilary

  5. Thank you so very much for giving permission. You can see your linked header under All, Gardening, Travel and the United States. If you could say something (preferably good) about SiteHoundSniffs.com here and there, we would greatly appreciate it.

  6. Hello Sherry. I constantly tease myself by looking at beautiful gardens that I am very unlikely to visit (except the English ones). This one is no exception and I LOVE the giant ant!
