A new community garden is growing in Mound City. Located directly west of Food Fair on Main Street and christened the Cultivate Kindness Garden, it has taken root thanks to the hard work of several local residents. 

Headed by Shayna Lamb with the help of Sue Vicory, along with many generous donors, the garden should be in bloom by spring of 2026. 

On Monday, Oct. 6, Vicory oversaw the installation of a five-foot tall fiberglass heart, painted by Brody Clark, recent Jayhawk Linn graduate. On either side of the heart are benches made by Dan and Amy Earl. The benches, one dedicated to Mark Schuyler and the other to J.D. and Bonnie New. Each bench has a quote provided by two Mound City youths, Lillian Meyer and Daniel Holt. Tulip bulbs have been planted in the center of the garden; more flowers and trees are to be planted soon. A mural of butterflies is on the east side of the garden.
