Celebrating 90 Years of Peace and Plants

“This was the strongest weekend attendance in five years, and we’re thrilled to have had so many visitors celebrate this milestone with us,” Tim Chapman, CEO of the International Peace Garden Foundation, said. “While we enjoy looking back to explore the area’s rich history and culture, we’re also looking to the future. Recent additions like the Children’s Nature Play Area and the ongoing expansion of the Conservatory ensure that we are providing new ways for visitors to experience the many ways the Garden promotes peace through the principles of conservation, education, recreation, and arts and culture, for the past 90 years and for many years to come.”

COME OUT AND

PLAY IN NATURE

The grand opening of the Children’s Nature Play Area took place on Saturday, July 30th to the great appreciation of the families in attendance, ND Director of Marketing and Tourism, Sara Otte Coleman, HTFC Planning and Design and Peace Garden board members.

Children of all ages and abilities will be able to have a hands-on experience in the new Children’s Nature Play Area. The play area features a theme of animals native to the Turtle Mountains, where the Peace Garden is located. Play areas are based on natural habitats to engage children in their surroundings and help them gain an understanding of the deep connections between animals, plants, and all the surrounding elements of their environments. Local indigenous communities will develop content that incorporates traditional teachings and native storytelling into each of the park’s play areas.
