Kansas City Moms Enjoy Mums Night Out at Johnson Farms

The weather was perfect as we celebrated the beginning of fall with our second annual Mums Night Out at Johnson Farms Plants & Pumpkins! Friends, moms and daughters, and even a group of neighbors enjoyed a night of apple picking, dinner and shopping.

Guests were transported to the apple orchard on a private wagon ride where they filled bags with fresh picked apples.

After a dinner of Johnson Farm’s award-winning chili, a caramel apple bar and apple cider donuts, Kristin Ruthstrom of Kansas City Mom Collective gave mum care tips and discussed fall-themed porch decor. Her classic, refined cottage neutrals and cheerful Travis and Taylor Chiefs displays gave us all fresh ideas for ways to incorporate mums into our fall decorating.

Finally it was time to shop! Guests shopped for dazzling permanent jewelry from Bee Linked Kansas City and designed unique trucker hats that were created on the spot by Hawley Trucker Hat Bar KC.

Using Kristin’s tips on selecting the right mum for maximum blooms, guests picked out the potted mum included with their event ticket and shopped fall decor with their Mums Night Out discounts.

The evening ended with the rare full corn moon! We had so much fun on the farm and we can’t wait for the next Mums Night Out next fall!

Thank you to our sponsors for creating a fun fall night out!

A former public librarian and marketing professional, Madison recently quit her full-time job to focus on health and family. Now she spends her time writing freelance, listening to audiobooks and attempting to organize the storage room once and for all. She’s a sucker for themed events, road trips and cookbooks. She and her family visit Disney Parks multiple times a year and love all things Disney. Her bucket list includes visits to all of the U.S. National Parks (18 down, 45 to go!).
