Master Gardeners of
Greater Kansas City
Mission Statement
The mission of the Master
Gardeners
of Greater Kansas City is horticultural
education.
The primary purpose of the University Extension is to serve Missouri by reaching out and extending research-based knowledge and problem-solving resources of the University of Missouri system to people throughout the state.
The Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City program is an informal, but important liaison between the University of Missouri Extension and the general public, by helping to implement Extension services. In the metropolitan Kansas City area the University Extension includes a large and diverse urban, suburban, and rural area that encompasses the four Missouri counties of Jackson, Cass, Clay, and Platte.
The Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City provide the metropolitan Kansas City area with information, suggested solutions to current or anticipated problems, demonstrations and programs designed to educate the general public about gardening topics. We are especially interested in encouraging environmentally sound, responsible and reliable information to the public based on research and approved practices.The Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City Program is conducted by Master Gardeners working under the Steering Committees' leadership and with the support and direction of the West Central Region Horticulture Specialist, Lala Kumar kumarl@missouri.edu. You can also contact Molly Fusselman, Horticulture Educator at the extension office or contact her by e-mail at fusselmanm@missouri.edu
The Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City is one of many Master Gardener groups in the state of Missouri. All of the Master Gardeners are coordinated by the State Master Gardeners at the University of Missouri campus.
