The International Peace Garden belongs to the people of the USA and Canada. It just happens to be in North Dakota Located 110 miles from my home in Minot.

Earlier last week my daughter Tina and a friend paid a visit to the Garden and I asked her to take a few shots for me to share with you.

True to it's name the International Peace Garden is truly a garden... nearly 2400 acres of indoor and outdoor gardens, displays, hiking trails, scenic drives and a museum. The cacti & succulent Conservatory are closed to the public. They have begun construction and expansion of The Conservatory and the cacti and succulent display will be closed to the public and off-display until fall 2022 but there is more than enough going on to keep you busy for a very full day.

Here are some pictures of the 911 memorial. The beams on display are from the twin towers.

Here is a couple of picks of the lake, picnic/hiking/biking area.

Don't forget your passport!

Kathy Streib Tina is sitting right next to me so I will show her your comment right now. It seems the International Peace Garden is a secrete to most folks.

Good morning, Bob... at the risk of being redundant... this looks like a peaceful place. I'd never heard of it until now.

I don't think you are being redundant Nina Hollander, Broker and don't worry if you hadn't heard of it... I think many North Dakotan's are unaware of this treasure right within their State.

2400 acres. That's a very large garden, Bob. I had not heard of the International Peace Garden prior to this post. I looked it up. Here's the link. Your photos are a testament to its beauty.

Just like Yellowstone it's one of those "I need to get there" sometime places Brian England . Also like Yellowstone it's a great educational opportunity for the kids.

Thank you for putting up the link and investigating The International Peace Garden Myrl Jeffcoat . As I was telling Brian England this should really be on everyone's bucket list and especially families with children.

Another thing I did not bring up and I didn't see mention of it on the home page of the site is every summer they host music camps for children who aspire to be better musicians.
