Dreamscape Makeover

Keep Kansas City Beautiful congratulates the winners of our second annual Dreamscape Makeover! Our grand prize winner, Brett Bogan of Overland Park, Kansas, will work with landscape architect Michael Ashley of Michael Ashley & Associates to custom design a sustainable landscape for his home. Our runners-up, Michelle Kiehl and Sandi Holman, each won a rain barrel to harvest rain water at home.

Dreamscape Makeover Materials and installation are provided by our partners: Audrie Seeley & Co., Prairie and Wetland Center, Family Tree Nursery, Missouri Organic, House of Rocks, and AGrand Ecofertilizer.

The Dreamscape Makeover is designed with native and drought-tolerant plants as well as sustainable ornamentals which thrive in our area despite erratic weather patterns. It will highlight features that help conserve rainfall and will only require simple, water-thrifty maintenance.

Thanks to all of our participants for entering the contest and making a valuable investment in the cleanup and beautification efforts of Keep Kansas City Beautiful!

Beautiful. Sustainable.
Creating beauty in Kansas City revitalizes our community. It creates economic value and attracts business. Beautification efforts also unite neighbors, create pride and build hope.
Creating beauty that is sustainable — that is, beauty that can survive Kansas City’s temperature swings, wind and uneven rainfall, requiring only minimal maintenance for decades — not only creates a gorgeous landscape, but makes a contribution to environmental solutions for stormwater management and water quality.
