We would like to recognize those who have generously sponsored picnic tables and benches which are located throughout the Gardens and along the trails. Visitors are often found relaxing on a bench and taking in the view, or enjoying a picnic lunch with family and friends.

An incredible mural, painted by Garry Peck, greets visitors as they ascend the steps to the Dormitory Museum and Coffee House.  A variety of themes can be seen captured in this mural.  In the clouds one can detect the shape of Denmark as well as folklore of Danish society, represented by Thor, the god of Thunder.  Canada's eastern shoreline represents the arrival of Danish immigrants to Canada and the crops and mountains represent their new home on the prairies.
