Peace Pole

In 1997, the same year the garden was started, the garden was asked if it would like to plant a Peace Pole on its site.  A Native American Shaman and Maori Medicine Man were present to dedicate the Peace Pole.  As sage was burned, participants stood in a circle around the pole and were asked to share a thought. As Sally remembers it, the birds were especially loud that day joining in with the blessing of the Peace Pole.
