The Garden of Peace is the Massachusetts memorial to victims of homicide, a place where families, friends and the larger community may remember and honor the lives of those taken by violence. It is an enduring reminder of the impact of violence and a visual testament of the need to eliminate it. At the same time, the Garden serves as a symbol of hope, peace and renewal.

Landscape and Sculptural Elements
PAYETTE designed landscape improvements to the existing garden to increase capacity and enhance accessibility. We also fabricated the bent-plate, laser-cut stainless steel plaques which form an elegant and respectful addition to this space. In aggregate, the memorial plaques read as a larger sculptural element.
