NAJGA Presents
Gardens for Peace 2023
Gardens for Peace (G4P) is a NAJGA project that brings communities together in Japanese gardens to promote peace. 14 North American gardens participated in G4P’s inaugural year in 2021. This year activities at participating gardens will take place during the months of August and September.
Join the G4P project to use your garden as a conduit for peace, and involve the community around you! Apply here.
Through the warm inclusion of community organizations in this project, the North American Japanese Garden Association aims to bring Japanese Gardens and local community members together through G4P to inspire inner peace by connecting with others around us who are working towards peace.
Gardens for Peace (G4P) is an annual NAJGA event. It brings communities together in Japanese gardens, both public and private, to promote peace. A peace pattern is raked into dry gardens to promote peace and involve the community. Gardens that do not have a dry garden can still join in by using the pattern in other creative ways!
Participation is easy! To join us, select an activity and complete the application here.
All G4P activities take place during the months of August and September. We ask gardens to share their projects via photo or video footage for a culminating event held via Zoom on September 19th, 2023.
