Master Gardeners gather in O.P.

The eyes of the Extension Master Gardener world are set to focus on Johnson County as we host the 2023 International Master Gardener Conference from June 18-22 at the Overland Park Convention Center, 6000 College Blvd.

Gardening program turns 50!

A seed was planted and did it ever take root and grow! Happy golden anniversary to the Extension Master Gardener program. The program was started by Washington State University Extension Agents Dr. David Gibby and Bill Scheer and has grown from its humble beginning in 1973.

Celebrate spring with a walk

As the days begin to get longer, and the nicer weather moves in and the colder weather moves out, it is important that we begin to move our bodies too!

Approaching the tax season

With the beginning of the New Year comes income tax season-that time between late January and April 15 when almost all households must file a tax return.

Fall lawn advice: Try 'Grass-cycling'

Throughout Johnson County leaves will begin to fall as we head into autumn, and many will take to their yards with rakes and brown yard waste bags in hand.

Freshen up food safety knowledge

Raise your hand if you ever took something out of the refrigerator, stared long and hard at it and asked yourself how long it had been there, or if you have questioned if something was safe to eat.
