peace garden

Contemplative green space

A peace garden is a landscaped outdoor space designed as a place for quiet reflection, meditation, or commemoration of peace.

These gardens often feature symbolic elements—white flowers, doves, memorial plaques—and may honor victims of conflict or promote reconciliation: The school created a peace garden in memory of the shooting victims.

The International Peace Garden straddles the U.S.-Canada border.
