Peace Garden (Organization)
Founded by Mary Phillips of Lemont, Illinois, this project involved growing flowers for their seed production value, and the packaging and exchanging of seeds internationally by children who became pen-pals. The Peace Garden contributed a doll of Jane Addams made from a gourd for the 1960 Chicago World Flower and Garden Show. This gesture of international friendship is now located at the Swarthmore College Peace Collection.
