:''For the garden in Salt Lake City, see International Peace Gardens.'' The International Peace Garden is a park located on the international border between Canada and the United States, in the state of North Dakota and the province of Manitoba. It was established on July 14, 1932, as a symbol of the peaceful relationship between the two nations.〔(History of the Garden )〕 ==Features==
The park plants over 150,000 flowers each year. Main features of the garden include an floral clock display, fountains, a chime, and twin concrete towers straddling the border with a peace chapel at their base. The chapel walls are inscribed with notable quotes about peace. The concrete towers have been declared unsafe due to irreparable weather-related erosion and are scheduled for demolition by 2016.〔(International Peace Garden progress continues as demolition of iconic Tower nears )〕 The Arma Sifton bells are a chime of 14 bells cast by Gillett & Johnston bellfounders. The bells were a gift from Central United Church of Brandon, Manitoba, in 1972. The tower was supplied by North Dakota Veterans and dedicated in 1976. Some building remains of the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001, have been placed in part of the garden.〔(International Peace Garden United States and Canada )〕 The Peace Garden hosts two youth camps every summer, the International Music Camp and the Legion Athletic Camp. Located at the garden is the North American Game Warden Museum.〔(North American Game Warden Museum )〕 The park lies near the center of the Turtle Mountain plateau, whose climate, topography, wildlife, and natural vegetation differ considerably from the surrounding prairies.
