Peace in the Garden

Campus Gardeners group continue their excellent work and the latest project saw the return of the Peace Pole to the new gardens by the Cafe. The pole was rescued from the Mega-Block construction site and now sits in the beautiful beds the group have planted. The flowers and shrubs can now be enjoyed up close too as the kids built some lovely curving stone and gravel pathways. The Peace pole has its message in different languages and was used in the past for curriculum studies of Conflict and by the Initiative for Peace team. Hopefully the garden will now host more celebrations of Peace..and even act as site for conflict resolution on campus. What a wonderful place to make up with someone.
So ever tend to your garden
Its beauty to increase
So in it you'll find solace
And in it you'll find peace
