Wednesday Garden Talk Series: Gardens for Peace and Reconciliation
(Special Event)
Jerzy Nowak, a Virginia Tech Professor Emeritus in Horticulture and retired Founding Director of the Center of Peace Studies and Violence Prevention will be presenting Gardens for Peace and Reconciliation.
He will give a brief overview of the function of these gardens in transformational community development, including peace, reconciliation of ecology and social justice, and restorative justice. Nowak will also focus on the role of the two gardens on the Virginia Tech campus: the existing International Peace Garden, located on the edge of Stadium Woods (http://www.vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2012/01/010512-cnre-internationalpeacegarden.html), and a foreseen/planned Norris Garden, a component of the Hokie Spirit Garden Trail adjacent to Norris Hall.
