Garden General
Information
The
International Peace Garden is a non-profit organization
operated by a twenty person board of directors. Ten of
the directors are Canadians and ten are residents of the
United States. Of the twenty board members, one is
appointed by the governor of the North Dakota and one is
appointed by the premier of Manitoba.
The state of
North Dakota and the province of Manitoba provide part
of the garden’s funding with some assistance from the
U.S. and Canadian governments mostly for capital
projects. The primary source of the garden’s operating
funds is from admission fees, profits from the gift
shop, food service and from donations.
