Mother’s Day at Powell Gardens

Treat your mom to a full day of fun at Powell Gardens this Mother’s Day!  Begin by shopping through a variety of perennials at the Spring Plant Sale, which is the biggest plant sale of the year.  Members of the Bonsai Society of Kansas City will also be present at the sale with a large collection of miniature trees and plants available for you to admire.  Then enjoy a delicious Mother’s Day Brunch at Cafe Thyme or dine outdoors in the Missouri Barn at Fresh: A Garden Cafe.  But if you are in the mood to listen to the tunes of the Brookside Brass, pack a picnic and enjoy the one time you can eat on the lawn.  Reservations are required for brunch, so call 816-697-2600 for a spot.
