Basehor Community Garden - Sign Up Today!

Basehor PRIDE is excited to announce that we've officially broken ground at the Basehor Community Garden!  The garden is located on the north end of the Basehor City Park - located at 15940 Leavenworth Road.

We're starting our first year with 14 plots - and only 4 plots are still available!  We have 2 10x10' plots available and 2 10x 22' plots available.  If you're interested in getting a plot, contact Basehor PRIDE at basehorpride@gmail.com.

Check out our progress so far!






All of the plots have been tilled and marked, and mulch walkways have been placed between the plots so everyone can easily get to their plot.


As soon as garden participants have paid their plot dues ($25 for a larger plot, $15 for a smaller plot) to cover the cost of water and communal area upkeep, they can begin planting.  As you can see, some participants have already begun!


A water line has been installed, with a spout located in the middle of the garden for easy access.  Basehor PRIDE plans to purchase a nice rubber hose for participants' use.


In addition to the basic garden plots, Basehor PRIDE has multiple beautification projects planned, including benches and a wood pergola.  Concrete pads for the benches have already been poured.  They'll rest under a nice shade tree and look out onto the garden.


A special thanks goes out to everyone who is helping to make our community garden a reality, including Kansas PRIDE - Partners in PRIDE, the city of Basehor, the Basehor City Park Board, and the Basehor-Linwood High School.

Stop by and check out our progress today.  Again, plots are quickly filling up!  If you'd like to get involved this spring, contact us at basehorpride@gmail.com.
