Episode 0604: International Garden Conference comes to Kansas

One of the things we like to highlight on the podcast is events that bring in people from outside of Kansas. Whether drawing from other states across the US or pulling in people from other countries, these events are not only good for the Kansas economy, they are a chance for us to show off our state, teach people about who we are as Kansans, and hopefully do a little bit of stereotype busting. We’ve highlighted a lot of these events over the years:
  • Kansas Storytelling Festival
  • Flint Hills Shakespeare Festival
  • Dynamic Discs has made Emporia the center of Disc Golf across the world
  • Opera workshop in the Flint Hills that draws people from across the country
  • And just last month, Unbound Gravel, a bike race in Emporia that draws people from 45 countries to race through the flint hills each June.
And, today is another one. In June, Overland Park will be hosting the International Master Gardener Conference for 2023. My guest today is Dennis Patton, a Horticulturist with the Johnson County Extension office. Dennis is also one of the chairs for the Conference, along with 2 other dedicated gardeners who are volunteers.
