Peace Garden honours Manitoba horticultural hero with new landscaping project
At the International Peace Garden, a new project is taking root—one that honors Manitoba horticulturist Frank Skinner, whose cold-resistant plants transformed northern landscapes. The redesign around the Errick Willis Pavilion will feature native seeds, colorful trees, and pathways connecting key parts of the garden. The effort, supported by Skinner’s family and local nurseries, celebrates his legacy of resilience and innovation. As plans grow, so does a vision to restore the garden’s iconic peace towers in time for its 2032 centennial.
