The garden is sponsored by the New Hampshire Chapter of Parents of Murdered Children and Other Survivors of Homicide Victims (POMC-OSHV) and the Attorney General's Office of Victim/Witness Assistance.

The dedication will be held at 11:00 am at Stewart Park on the corner of Main Street and Union Avenue in Laconia. The garden is established in memory of those whose lives have been taken by violence. Families have donated pathway bricks inscribed with the name of their loved ones.
