The International Peace Garden near Dunseith is a botanical masterpiece in the heart of the Turtle Mountains.

The garden's U.S. portion comprises 888 acres, and its Canadian portion comprises 1,451 acres. It is a feat of landscape architecture: approximately 150,000 annuals bloom to spectacular color in July and August. Formal gardens and an arboretum allow you to see the Peace Garden's splendor. You will also find a peace chapel and an auditorium, a Peace Tower souvenir shop, a food concession, and a pavilion that is site of smorgasbords Saturday and Sunday.
