Conservation
Much of
the garden architecture at the International Peace Gardens has
suffered wear over time; some has even been vandalized, stolen or
removed. A number of national plants have not survived in Utahˇ¦s
climate. Citizens with interest in restoring the gardens to their
original luxuriance and lushness are now coming together. There are
many ways to offer help. Please click here.
Botany
At its zenith,
the International Peace Gardens boasted special native plants
brought from many lands. These included a field of Alpine Edelweiss
from Switzerland, magnolia trees from China, thirty types of Swedish
lilacs, English unique varieties, thousands of colors of Dutch
tulips, and famous Cedars from Lebanon. Today the park is adorned
with many local and colorful varieties. The remarkable feature of
many embankments of flowers spelling out the names of nations is an
ongoing tradition.
Watch for a list of these
plants and what will be in bloom during your visit or help to
replace and acquire new plants selected by the Parks and Recreation
Superintendent through the flower power program.
