DUNSEITH (AP) - Mud has been shoveled out of fountains and gardens are being replanted at the International Peace Garden after a weekend storm that destroyed thousands of plants and led to the collapse of a wall in one building.

"We've got a full sunny, windy day, which is helping us immensely," Chief Executive Officer Doug Hevenor said Tuesday.

More than 4 inches of rain hit the 2,300-acre border park Sunday night, most of it in a 45-minute period, followed by hail, Hevenor said. He knew the gardens were taking a beating when a small stream near his home overflowed.

"That stream is normally three to four feet across," Hevenor said. "It turned into a 65-foot-wide river."

No one was hurt during the storm, but some campers had to be evacuated. A wall collapsed in the park's administration building, and the gift shop had water damage.

"We've had several garden center areas make plant material available," Hevenor said. North Dakota park officials planned to deliver large pumps to help get rid of the water, he said.

"We've had tremendous community response from both Manitoba and North Dakota," Hevenor said.

He had not yet tallied up the damage total Tuesday. The number of plants destroyed was in the thousands, he said.

Some of the plants had been prepared for the Peace Garden's 75th Anniversary celebration on July 14. University students helped with the planting.

"We're hoping to have the beds dry down so we can plant some of the floral areas that were damaged," Hevenor said. The front entrance to the park still is "absolutely gorgeous," he said.

The International Music Camp still is in full swing at the Peace Garden, and a weekend motorcycle rally is scheduled.

"I think we took care of the rain," Hevenor said. "We're hoping for a sunny day and a good crowd."

In northeastern North Dakota, parts of Pembina and Walsh counties were hit by heavy rain early Tuesday morning.

Walsh County Extension Agent Brad Brummond said the weather is perfect for grain diseases like scab, a fungal disease that hurts yields.

"I think we need to be prepared to put some protection on our spring wheat when it starts flowering," Brummond said. "I think we're going to have pressure like we've had a couple years ago, and it was pretty ferocious."

Other parts of North Dakota were hit with strong winds early Tuesday. Rugby reported a gust of 72 mph around 3 a.m., and gusts of 60 mph or more were reported in Garrison, Bottineau and the Minot Air Force Base.
