West River Peace Garden News
by Friends of the West River Peace Garden
The West River Peace Garden hosted a special gathering and planting on May 9, the day before Mother’s Day, to pay homage to mothers who have passed on. You can read about it here: bit.ly/4f63Bde.
We are planning to have another gathering on August 6 by the Gingko tree in our garden to commemorate the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to remember the victims, and to publicly call for peace, an end to all war, and for the abolition of nuclear weapons. Email us at friendsofwestriverpeacegarden@gmail.com for updates on this gathering, or check our Facebook page Friends of the West River Peace Garden or our website westriverpeacegarden.org.
Interested in volunteering in the garden? Email us with the time and day you’d like to join us each week, and we’ll schedule a volunteer shift for others to join you then!
The West River Peace Garden is by Ella Grasso Blvd. between Legion Ave. and MLK Blvd.
