Manitoba’s Peace Garden
topic of WI meeting
The March meeting of Londes
boro W.I. was held on Wednesday
afternoon, March 13 at the hall.
Marjorie Anderson opened with
a poem about “Springtime”.
Following this were the Opening
Ode, Mary Stewart Collect and O
Canada. Helen Lawson read the
minutes of the January and Febru
ary meetings and gave the Finan
cial Report. These were adopted as
read.
Lois Elliott said they are working
on the nominations. Elma Jewitt
reported on the banquet on April 10
at 7 p.m. at the Blue Fountain in
Clinton.
Plans were made to give an
Easter gift to shut-ins. A motion
was passed that honorariums be
paid. The executive meeting is on
April 1 at 1:30 p.m. at the Belgrave
Hall. Lois Elliott took over for the
public relations meeting. She gave
a commentary and showed slides of
the International Peace Gardens in
Manitoba. This presentation was
very informative and enjoyable.
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. It comprises over 2300 acres
