In 1928, while attending a gath ering of gardeners in Greenwich, Connecticut, Dr. Henry J. Moore of Islington, Ontario conceived the thought of a garden on the interna tional boundary line “where the people of two countries could share the glories found in a lovely garden and the pleasures found in warm friendships.” In 1929, Dr. Moore proposed his idea of an international peace garden at a meeting in Toronto of the National Association of Garden ers of the United States where he was a guest speaker. The Association approved the plan and appointed a committee of Dr. Moore, Mr. Dunlop and Mr. Brydon to select a site. The present site, near the geographical centre of the North American continent was chosen. The selection was approved in December 1931, in a meeting in Toronto. The Garden lies nestled in the beautiful Turtle Mountains on the broder of North Dakota and Mani toba. The location is midway between the Atlantic and Pacific ocean.
