Mitra Sen produced and directed the 2005 film The Peace Tree, which shares the story of two little girls, one Muslim and one Christian, who dream of celebrating each other's festivals, Christmas and Eid.
Peace Tree Day celebrations included workshops presented by children and seniors that shared literature, music, art, dance, and food from around the world.
The Peace Tree, located in the center of the garden, highlights the symbols of every culture and faith to celebrate the beauty of "diversity in unity."
Drinks included Sharbat Alabalou from Iran, Mugi cha from Japan, Jeera Pani from India, and sweet treats from different parts of Asia.
To date, the Peace Tree has begun to grow in India, Canada, USA, Pakistan, Australia, China, South Africa, England, Germany, Ireland, Dubai, and in the Bahamas.
