A cottage garden is designed to have a lot of personality, often reflecting that of its owner. These gardens bring a sense of “home” and warmth, with quirky artistic elements, a combination of plant varieties and always something interesting to view. They often feature benches or other places to sit for a while and take a break to enjoy nature.

Georgia's EMC’s are deeply saddened by the passing of United States Representative David Scott. Rep. Scott was a steadfast supporter of Georgia’s EMCs during his time in Congress, championing programs such as the Rural Utility Service (RUS), and also serving as the first African American Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. We’re sharing this 2022 profile from NRECA's RE Magazine as a tribute that outlines his longtime support of EMCs throughout our state. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones at this time.

For many farming families, agriculture is not just a job. It’s a birthright and a legacy that is passed down from one generation to the next.

But for many, the decision to keep the family’s heritage going is a simple—and rewarding—one.

Meet some of these new-generation farmers in “Inheriting the earth,” starting on page 18.
