Gardens for Peace
Dedicated on May 6,
2000, the designation of the Oakhurst Community Garden as
a Garden for Peace marks the first site of its kind in the network.
Other
gardens in the network are located at the Atlanta History Center,
Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Botanical Garden in Madrid,
Spain, Lakewold in
Tacoma, Washington, Pastoral
Institute in Nairobi, Kenya, Columbia
Theological Seminary, and on the grounds of the Sarah
P. Duke Garden.
The Gardens for Peace dedication included the presentation
of a special banner made by the neighborhood Girl Scout Troop.
Special activities included building scarecrows for the garden
beds, listening to a storyteller and an opportunity for the
children to write down their wishes for peace and place them
on a special tree.
