Powell Gardens welcomes Painted Garden (May 2-June 21) as joy and color sweep through the Gardens. This year’s display is a celebration of the enduring spirit of the Midwest called The Prairie Is Our Home.
Visitors are invited to wander through gardens alive with the bright colors of spring flowers while enjoying the open skies, rolling prairie, and deep sense of place that has shaped generations.
A highlight of the season is a new barn quilt art installation, a vibrant fusion of horticulture and heritage. By bringing these iconic designs to Kansas City’s botanical garden, Painted Garden honors the artistry of rural America while reimagining it in a living, blooming landscape.
Painted Garden remains rooted in Kansas City’s art community and will feature new work by Belger Arts in the Conservatory along with other artwork by local artists.
The spring festival is a joyful meeting of tradition and renewal. Painted Garden invites you to celebrate the prairie as both a place and a feeling, a home woven from color, culture, and community.
Powell Gardens is open Wednesday-Sunday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Baby Bottle Project is Just Around the Corner!
Looking for a meaningful way for your church, school, or community group to support pro-life education in Kansas? The KFL Baby Bottle Project is just around the corner!
From Mother’s Day to Father’s Day, churches, schools, community groups, Bible studies, and other organizations invite participants to take home a baby bottle, fill it with spare change, cash, or checks, and return it around Father’s Day. The collected donations are then sent to Kansans for Life to support our educational outreach across the state.
We are now preparing shipments of free Baby Bottle Project materials for groups across Kansas.
If your church, school, or group would like to participate this year, simply click the button below to fill out the short form and request your supplies.

HEY REMODELING/HOME IMPROVEMENT PROS!
Today’s homeowners want more than a beautiful kitchen — they want spaces that work smarter, live better, and reflect a thoughtful approach to sustainability without sacrificing luxury. Join us for an engaging and insightful session exploring how sustainable design, connected technology, and premium appliance innovation are transforming the heart of the home into a high-performing, highly desirable living space.
This 1-hour CEU course (if need credits) will dive into the latest trends shaping luxury kitchen design, including smart-home integration, advanced appliance technology, wellness-focused features, energy-conscious solutions, and the growing demand for seamless functionality paired with elevated aesthetics. Remodeling professionals will gain practical insights into how these innovations influence homeowner expectations, project planning, product selection, and long-term value — helping you stay competitive in an ever-evolving marketplace.
Whether your clients are asking for hidden tech, statement appliances, healthier living solutions, or a kitchen that practically talks back, this session will help you better understand what’s driving today’s luxury consumer and how to thoughtfully incorporate those elements into future projects. (No, the refrigerator still won’t load the dishwasher… yet.)
Presented by Monogram Appliances expert Jeannie Reynolds, this course combines real-world expertise, industry knowledge, and practical applications designed specifically for remodeling and design professionals. Attendees will walk away with fresh inspiration, valuable takeaways, and new ideas for creating kitchens that are as intelligent as they are stunning.
A special thank you to our host, Warners’ Stellian Appliance, for supporting the industry and helping bring professionals together for education and connection.

This is a wonderfully encouraging event for both veteran homeschoolers and those considering homeschooling as members of the next generation prepare for the next stage of their lives.
The ceremony is student led with a class feel yet also personalized as parents pronounce a special blessing over their graduate.
One of the highlights of the homeschool experience is watching homeschool students accept their high school diploma after so many years of work, patience, and growth in both character and education.
