Kansas State University Gardens

At the K-State Gardens we love that K-Staters, community members, and visitors choose the Gardens as their destination for capturing special moments in their lives. In order to provide a welcoming and safe environment for our visitors, the following guidelines have been established.

Photography Guidelines: https://www.k-state.edu/gardens/plan-your-visit/photography-in-the-gardens.html

Also, for years the K-State Gardens has provided a beautiful space for capturing smiles and special moments through photography. To maintain this tradition and the beauty of the Gardens, we request that all professional photographers pay a $50 session fee for using the Gardens to conduct their business.

Note: There is no fee for personal photography.

Dragonflies are frequent visitors around the water lilies and reflecting pool at Kansas State University Gardens.
Unlike bees, wasps, moths, and butterflies which are abundant pollinators around the gardens, dragonflies are not true pollinators. They are aerial predators that catch other insects mid-air, and do not feed on nectar or pollen from flowers.

There are some hardy annuals that are looking beautiful in the mid-summer heat; in the Cottage Garden at Kansas State University Gardens.

The Iris Sale yesterday is the result of a year round collaborative effort between the Flint Hills Iris Society and garden staff and volunteers who tend to the beautiful collection at Kansas State University Gardens.

Tomorrow is the day! Iris sale starts at 8 AM. A little hint for the newbies...people line up early and bring lawn chairs. See you all in the Gardens!
