The purpose of Landscape and Florticulture Services is to enhance Kansas City’s parks, boulevards, parkways and public spaces by providing and maintaining landscape beds and floral displays consisting of annuals, perennials and woody plant materials. Targeted service goals include:
- Prune numerous landscaped areas (perennials,shrubs and small trees) on boulevards, parkways and in selected highly visible and intensely used “signature” park areas once a year.
- Assist with the renovations of existing landscape beds and establish new landscape beds where needed.
- Plant all floral displays by May 31 of each year.
- Maintain and weed all floral displays throughout the growing season on a 14-day cycle for an approximate total of 10 cycles. Fertilize and water as weather conditions dictate.
- Prompt removal of all floral displays at the end of each growing season (October).
