The International Peace Garden

If your looking for a quiet tranquil place to rest and to see beauty the International Peace Garden is a great place to go.

Since 1932, nestled on the U.S. and Canadian borders of North Dakota and Manitoba in a symbol of friendship, lies a “One of a Kind” International Peace Garden. Reflecting pools and dazzling colorful floral displays of over 150,000 flowers splash across the grounds of the Formal Garden’s terraced walkways.


The large clock received from the Bulova Watch Company in 1966 was a duplicate of the famous Bulova Floral Clock at Berne, Switzerland. It was replaced the summer of 2005 with a new clock from St. Louis, Missouri. The Floral Clock, 18 feet in diameter, is a popular attraction at the International Peace Garden, and displays a unique floral design each year. The number of plants on the clock can range from 2,000 to 5,000, depending on the type of plant and design on the face of the clock. Typically the first week in June, 150,000 flowers are planted at the Peace Garden, and best viewed full bloom from mid-July through August. However, the park has its own distinctive beauty all year around.





The International Peace Garden is located on the northern border of North Dakota and Canada and is part of the Turtle Mountain Reservation.

The garden is actually split in half by the Canadian/USA border.  A passport is not required to go on the Canadian half of the garden however if you wanted to leave the garden and go into Canada then you would need to go through Canadian customs and provide a passport.

There are places in the garden to camp and there is even a music camp within the garden.

Hiking and auto tours, through verdant Turtle Mountain Forests and past the pristine waters of Lake Udall and Lake Stormon, yields, as great a variety of birds, as found anywhere else in North America. Deer, moose, grouse, beaver and other game form a great marriage with the extensive variety of wild flowers, trees, and shrubs abundant in this “Like No Other Place on Earth” Garden.
