We are a small group of home schoolers that have been studying Nobel Peace Prize laureates for the past two years. We were studying the Dalia Lama and learned that he has peacefully been working towards peace in Tibet. In the spring of 2007 we created a peace garden at our local community park. We made this garden to help bring peace to our community and create a place for citizens to go to enjoy themselves and experience peace. It's a round garden of about 16' diameter placed near a wooden bench with a redbud tree in the middle. Around the tree are hostas, liriope, and two soapstone plaques carved by our group with the peace symbol and the words Peace Garden. The mulch, tree, hostas, liriope, and stones were all donated to our group for the project. This project does need continual care.
