Garden Plain

The flag of Garden Plain, Kansas, is a white background with two black and gold horizontal stripes, with two slanted gold lines going between the two horizontal gold lines, and four black parallelograms in the middle of those stripes. In the middle is a white disc, fimbriated in black, containing eight ears of wheat, and six black diamonds arranged in the shape of wheat. They are all arranged in a circle, intersecting into a small black circle.

==Symbolism==
It is a nod to the past, present and future of the community. Russian Mennonite settlers brought hard red winter wheat with them to Kansas; the harvesting of this wheat is still vital today and will continue to be so now and into the future. The wheat is arranged in a circle which could portray a locomotive wheel of the past rolling along the black tracks that run through the middle of the flag. The rolling wheat wheel could also be a wagon wheel of the settlers who carried the wheat to our prairie land. The round rolling wheat wheel also represents a town in forward motion.
The black and gold match the colors of Garden Plain Schools.
