Prairie Creek Greenway Community Garden – Volunteers & Gardeners Needed!
Platte County Parks is looking for volunteers and gardeners interested in helping maintain and grow our community garden at the Prairie Creek Greenway.
Whether you'd like to grow your own vegetables, herbs, or flowers, or simply enjoy gardening and want to help maintain the space, we'd love to hear from you! We're also looking for individuals or groups interested in taking a more active role in caring for the garden.
Exciting improvements are coming! On October 24, 2026, an Eagle Scout project will help clean up the garden and install a bug hotel. Bug hotels provide shelter for beneficial insects, including those that help control garden pests naturally.
We're hoping to bring new life to this community space and welcome anyone interested in getting involved!
