About us
We are creating a Worldwide Network of WORLD PEACE GARDENS.
OUR AIM
is that everybody can create (or have access to) an area of peace and tranquillity enabling contemplation on the beauty of our Earth and of the ideals of living in harmony with nature and with our local community
You can join us in this consciousness–raising network of gardens simply by declaring that your own garden, patio, balcony, or (by requesting to the relevant authorities) your local public park or garden be made into a
WORLD PEACE GARDEN. Each garden can then connect into this worldwide network website to meet people of all ages, exchange ideas, recipes, stories and legends.
In Britain and around the world, there is a diversity of gardens and parklands, full of beauty and originality.
However, many overcrowded urbanites have an increasing need for quiet, safe and natural surroundings
in which to retreat from stress of work and daily life.
in which to retreat from stress of work and daily life.
Using Permacultural Principles, gardens can enhance the theme of peace and non-violence.
Designating a World Peace Garden
ANY garden, from a plant pot or a windowbox to a park or a forest, may be designated
as a World Peace Garden!
Why not designate a World Peace Garden at your private garden, Public Park, Community or Healing Centre in your district?
