Dedicated on October 13, 2003, this Garden for Peace is located near the busy downtown mall in Charlottesville, Virginia. The existing space was revamped at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Historical Society by its members, led by Ellie Montgomery Atuk and Ethel deNeveu and includes indigenous foliage with luxurious flowers and deep green colors.

Having a Garden for Pece in this part of the U.S is welcome in a community historically known as the site of war skirmishes and community involvment was imperative to its creation. The Historical Society plans to use the garden not only as a place of relaxation and meditation, but as a site for students to learn about medicinal herbs.
