SDBG joins in unity with friends and colleagues from around the globe for our second annual Survivor Tree Ceremony. Descended from a mother tree that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan 79 years ago, this special ginkgo tree was planted at the Garden in May 2023. The ceremonial event will take place on Monday, August 5 starting at 4:00 p.m. We will gather for a moment of silence at 4:15p.m., corresponding to the exact moment when the citizens of Hiroshima gather to mark the dropping of the A-bomb on August 6, 1945.

The commemoration ceremony will include remarks from special guest speaker Nassrine Azimi, co-founder and coordinator of Green Legacy Hiroshima, as well as a community wish-writing activity for attendees to participate.
