At the Nebraska Resource, Conservation and Development (RC&D) State Association annual meeting in Valentine earlier this month, PrairieLand RC&D was presented a plaque naming Columbus Community Garden the best RC&D project in the state for 2010.

Roy is busy shredding the refuge and gardeners are clearing their plots. We are looking forward to next spring when we will again hope for a wonderful harvest, share time with friends, enjoy eating fresh produce and welcome new and former gardeners. It's been a great project! Thank you to everyone who has supported this new ministry!

The harvest time is drawing to an end at the community garden.
