WORLD PEACE GARDENS OUTDOOR SANCTUARY FLOOR PLANS NOW COMPLETED
A huge “Thank you!” to architect, Ward Dawson for donating much of his time to create the the very first World Peace Gardens’ Outdoor Sanctuary, floor plans/blueprints. Ward and Daniel have been working together to develop the floor plans in hopes that eventually some of these outdoor sanctuary/gardens will be built on donated land or through an organization promoting world peace. Both floor plans include beautiful designs for outdoor patios, garden areas, pathways and a central gathering place called “The inner garden” which is complete with pillars and cross-beams, inspired, in part by places like Stonehenge. Interest for building these outdoor sanctuaries in various locations has come from as far away as India and in more than a dozen locations in the U.S.. For more information on creating a World Peace Gardens, Outdoor Sanctuary, please contact Daniel Pettegrew at: Daniel@WorldPeaceGardens.org or for architectural advise please contact Ward Dawson at: jwdaiainc@beyondbb.com
