Things to do in Garden City

Garden City is the business center of southwest Kansas, a region built on cattle, irrigated crops and the beef industry. Huge feedyards surround the city, and the beef processing plant in nearby Holcomb is one of the largest in the country, drawing workers from around the world and giving Garden City an unusually diverse population for a small High Plains town. Dairies, ethanol plants, grain operations and agricultural lenders round out an economy that depends on the Ogallala Aquifer below.
