We Rise By Lifting Others
We couldn’t have created the Peace Gardens without deep collaboration from our immediate and extended community. Our gratitude knows no bounds for the unending injections of love, time, talent, treasure, creativity, and hard work that each of you have contributed!
From the very first shovel in the ground, we’ve had partners at our side – whether they were helping dig, felling dead trees, building garden beds, clearing vines, picking up trash, building structures, creating art, raising funds, making music, etc.
We are because of you.
