Peace Garden

Visited the International Peace Garden this week.

Located on the US-Canada border between North Dakota and Manitoba, it is a beautiful idea that unfortunately fails to live up to the inspiration.  It is so far out in the middle of nowhere that it doesn’t get enough visitors to generate income sufficient to maintain the gardens as well as they should be.  It’s not ugly, but it should be better.

Still, it is a nice place to spend a few hours.  I’m glad we saw it.

The Peace Tower in the Garden.  Located on the 49th Parallel, the tower and the gardens are half in the US and half in Canada.
