Cactus for a Cause: Trade canned goods for a cactus at the Arboretum

Nov. 25 Update:

The donation drive has been extended to Nov. 27!


Head to the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens and help fight hunger while adding a touch of green to your home! 

Bring four canned goods or other non-perishable food donations to LongHouse Visitor Center at the Arboretum Nov. 1-22. In return, you’ll receive a small cactus to take home, while supplies last.

The donations support Harvesters, a community organization dedicated to creating access to nutritious food and working to end hunger. Your donations will directly benefit families in need.

This unique donation drive is a wonderful way to make a difference and bring a bit of the outdoors into your home.

After donating to the canned food drive, take a moment to explore the Arboretum. With its stunning 300-acre landscape, themed gardens and miles of hiking trails, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Regular admission fees apply.
