Art sale benefitting Peace Garden
May 18th, 2021
Until the end of May, you can purchase an original artwork by a Dawson student or employee. All proceeds benefit the Peace Garden.
The goal of the Peace Garden is to create a green space that is both commemorative and symbolic of life and renewal, while making a positive environmental impact.
The Peace Garden grows a variety of native flowers and shrubs, and has pathways built in the shape of infinity loops, circular and flowing, that not only beautifies the grounds, but benefit local wildlife.
