For most of us, gardening isn't much more than a hobby. But for many, it can provide means to a whole new life.
Cultivate KC enables resettled refugees — mostly from Burma and Somalia — to learn, along with KCK residents, the art of farming as well as running a small business. Sample their organic produce at a weekly market, which includes meat and veggies (and produce from the farmers' native countries), 9:30 a.m.–1 p.m. every Monday through September at Greenmarket, adjacent to the Juniper Gardens Training Farm (Third Street and Richmond Avenue, in Kansas City, Kansas).
