Leah moved to North Dakota when she was 12 years old and has traveled from the Red River Valley to the badlands and many places in between. She loves small-town life and currently enjoys living on a small farm in the ND prairie. She's always had a passion for writing and has participated in novel writing challenges such as NaNoWriMo multiple times. Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.
North Dakota’s official nickname is the Peace Garden State. This comes from one of its most iconic yet underrated monuments right on the border with our northern neighbor. Being a garden, it is at its fullest and most beautiful in the summer. Right now you can still see it at its peak, but as summer comes to an end, all the blooms will disappear until next year. Check it out while you still can:
The spectacular International Peace Garden sits on the border between North Dakota and Canada, in the town of Dunseith, ND.
Along with that lovely view, when visiting you'll also be able to see many fountains, monuments, and some neat and unusual ways to display flowers - such as this clock mound.
With thousands upon thousands of colorful annuals and perennials, it's well worth a visit during their peak blooming period. After that, this will become covered in snow for the winter.
Even so, there are indoor areas of the International Peace Garden showcasing hundreds of plants like cacti and succulents from all over the United States and Canada. It's an important symbol of peace and well worth a visit for anyone.

Address: 10939 Highway 281, Dunseith, ND, 58329
