Vine Street Gardens at the KC Workhouse

2 or More will lead the effort to preserve and restore the historical Kansas City Workhouse at 20th and Vine into a multi-functional pocket park that will serve the community in multiple ways. In addition to a historical learning exhibit, the pocket park will boast community and botanical gardens with trees, flowers, fruits, and vegetables, along with an educational walking path. The restored Workhouse will double as an event space, proceeds of which will go back to similar local redevelopment efforts. Once finished, the site will be called The Vine Street Gardens at the Kansas City Workhouse. CCF funding will support the outdoor space only.
