Educational Videos

Project Living Proof isn’t just about the inside – it’s about the outside of the house as well. In this presentation, David Albrecht of MEC will meet with Yvonne Jenkin of the Greater Kansas City Master Gardeners and members of her team who’ve turned the back and front yards of PLP into vegetable, herb, fruit and native plant gardens. Along with training aspiring master gardeners, these gardens also support local food banks with fresh vegetables and fruit – while supporting bees and native pollinators. Join us see just what can be done with what used to be a lawn!
