LEXINGTON, KY (June 5, 2008) – Students, faculty and staff at BCTC will begin planting the seeds of peace in June with the creation of a new Peace Art Garden. The garden, which will symbolize peace on Earth, was designed by John Michler owner of Michler’s Gardens and Greenhouses and Michler Florist will be located at BCTC’s Leestown Campus.

The new garden will boast a wide variety of perennial plants including Black-eyed Susan, Sedum “Autumn Joy” Phox paniculata, Butterfly Bush, Anemone japonica, Boltonia and Joe-Pye Weed. Other permanent fixtures of the garden will be bird feeders, sculptures, benches and engraved markers for the plants.
