Fortopia opens to the public at Powell Gardens, Kansas City’s Botanical Garden. This playful outdoor exhibition, comprised of eight awe-inspiring forts, encourages outdoor discovery and adventure. The eight fort designs were hand-selected by a jury comprised of educators, architects, horticulturists, and fabricators. Designed to inspire an appreciation of the natural landscape, Powell Gardens is excited for visitors to experience Fortopia’s beauty through the variety of creative perspectives represented in the chosen forts. This year’s fort designers include preschool children, artists, landscape designers, architects, and more. Fortopia runs May 26 – October 16.
