Jerzy Nowak, a Virginia Tech Professor Emeritus in Horticulture and retired Founding Director of the Center of Peace Studies and Violence Prevention will be presenting Gardens for Peace and Reconciliation.

He will give a brief overview of the function of these gardens in transformational community development, including peace, reconciliation of ecology and social justice, and restorative justice.
