World Peace Gardens, is donating more than 100 desert willow trees (Chilopsis linearis) to residents of southwestern Utah. Desert Willows are also known as Desert Orchids because of their beautiful, pink and purple abundant blooms that look like small orchids.
These trees are popular with hummingbirds and grow easily in the desert heat providing shade and shelter for desert homes and gardens.
World Peace Gardens is going to be just a bit more famous than before. Our first public service announcements will start being featured on D-TV in November. D-TV is a local television station through Dixie State College of Southwestern Utah. D-TV uses airtime to promote non profit organizations and local government information. The public service announcements will feature the World Peace Gardens logo and information about our web site and contact information for those who may be interested in becoming involved. Hollywood here we come!
We are excited to announce we are now recognized by the Federal Government as an official 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization! This is such great news! We received our letter in record time…what normally takes 3-12 months, we received approval in less than two months. We could not be more thrilled and feel World Peace Gardens are really needed on this planet! Check back often for updates on Events and Gatherings. And a huge thank you goes out to all of our current supporters of World Peace Gardens and look forward to many more!
We are now in the process of organizing weekly Sunday afternoon gatherings, which will begin in January 2009. These gatherings will focus on visioning world peace as well as discussing and celebrating world peace through a variety of activities, speakers, artists, musicians and other uplifting forms of support for personal and community transformation.
