Our garden next to the New Office has been dismantled and removed. With the new obligations I have this year and trying to run this by myself, I am going to have to declare the Growers Garden closed for the year. I will be removing any remaining refuse and raised bed pieces. Thank you all for your participation last year.
If you are interested in still participating in a community garden, the Victory Garden is launching in Great bend this season.
