About us

 

The International Peace Garden was founded in 1932 by a group of visionaries aiming to establish a place dedicated to the ideals of peace and friendship between nations. Located near the geographic center of North America, the International Peace Garden sits on the Manitoba/North Dakota border and commemorates the long-standing peace between the United States and Canada. Today, the Peace Garden grounds span more than 2,400 acres including forests, trails, lakes, manicured gardens, conservatories, campgrounds, and more. The Peace Garden exists because of the efforts of volunteers and committed community leaders. Many of the early facilities and structures, as well as picnic areas, exist thanks to the fundraising efforts and sweat equity of local, state and provincial organizations.

Volunteer at the International Peace Garden

 

As summer of 2024 approaches, we are excited to announce that we continue to welcome volunteers to support our “Worker Bee” program at the International Peace Garden. We will work with you to find the perfect “volunteer” fit to support the International Peace Garden, as we work together to make the IPG a beautiful place for everyone who works, plays, or visits the garden.

How can you help?

 

We are looking for Worker Bees of all ages and abilities. We ask that children under 16 be accompanied by a parent or adult. Our volunteer program opportunities are wide-ranging and include tour guides, informational greeters, general maintenance, and handyperson (painting & small repairs like picnic tables, etc.), garden helpers, front gate workers, and event support. We are also looking for volunteers for our membership table, ushers, ticket takers, and assistants for children’s activities.

We have opportunities for group workdays and individual hours of service every day of the week. Let us know how you would like to help, when you are available, and we can identify projects that align with your interests.

Benefits of Volunteering:

  • Meet and work with other people while developing and strengthening relationships.
  • Meet visitors from all over the world.
  • Learn more about the history of this gem, symbolizing the ongoing peace between Canada and the United States.
  • Stimulate your senses and mindfulness while spending time in nature, with lush vegetation, lakes, the cascading water channel along the 49th parallel, ponds, fountains, fresh air, not to mention the opportunity to see wildlife and a variety of birds.
  • Enjoy taking part in your chosen activity and contributing to a cause you believe in while supporting the International Peace Garden as a part of our communities.

We will kick off the 2024 season with some scheduled Volunteer Days, as follows:

Please click the date you would like to volunteer to register for any of the volunteer days.

Your Support Matters

For 86 years the Peace Garden has been a symbol of peace and cooperation and a jewel on the prairie. The vision of a few men to create a special place and the 50,000 who gathered for its dedication in 1932 should not be forgotten by any of us. In an ever-changing world, we can not forget the importance of peace and conservation.

The International Peace Garden is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization. Your gift is used to promote the Gardens as a vital regional asset while providing valuable educational programs and special events for the community.

Your generosity helps preserve this invaluable venue for generations.
