Adding a Pollinator Garden or Butterfly Bench to Your Peace Pole

A great addition to any peace pole location! Contact Rotarian Scott Nelson, RC of Ann Arbor North - scottreidnelson@gmail.com OR Debra Harshaw, RC of Windsor St. Clair - debra.harshaw@gmail.com.

You can also find a variety of beautiful butterfly benches online.

Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony Info:

Often a Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony is accompanied by a World Peace Flag Ceremony (MPPOE, INT) or World Peace Prayer Ceremony (WPPC). In the latter case you do not need flags. Link to WPPC/WPFC Guidelines: https://www.worldpeace.org/flagceremony/

Ongoing Peace Pole Activities

Hold a quarterly, annual, etc. meeting around your Peace Pole

to discuss topics (e.g., how to achieve peace in our hearts, communities, in daily relationships with others)
to pray for Peace in troubled areas and throughout the world
to meditate, sing, or read inspirational material
to add a pollinator garden and/or butterfly bench

Consider a Rededication Ceremony on the International Day of Peace, Earth Day, Season of Non-violence, Black History Month, Flag Day, Diversity Week, anniversary of your Peace Pole’s planting date, etc.
