It's been a very wet year at the International Peace Garden near Boissevain.

CEO, Gary Enns stated despite the conditions the garden is still getting it's share of guests.

"We've been very fortunate, we have had a good number of visitors we can always take in more obviously. A day like today where it is rainy and not a nice day, obviously traffic is down. We have had a lot of rain so the days when it's raining not so good, when it's clear and sunny everyone comes out and enjoys the wonderful weather of the peace garden."

Enns explained the wet weather has created more problems for the garden this season.

"According to our horiticultural supervisor, Connie Lagerquist this is the worst year she has ever seen. It's very wet and this has meant we haven't been able to get everything in that we were hoping to get in, in terms of our plants and it means the weeds are having a grand time and we are having trouble keeping up with them."

Enns noted the garden's newest attraction is the Promise for Peace sculpture which was received last August.

The famous steel statue displaying outheld hands releasing a dove sits in the former garden's fountain.

The garden's newest sculpture was donated by Wally Byam Caravan Club International.
