The Fantasy Fountain Fund, Inc. maintains the "Peace Fountain" sculpture garden at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. Created in 1985 by Fund president and sculptor Greg Wyatt, the garden is dedicated to the creativity of children. It was only fitting for school children to be invited to contribute their artistic talents to the creation of the "Animals of Freedom" Children's Sculpture Garden which surrounds the "Peace Fountain" monument. The Fund and its volunteers help preserve the garden and make it a perfect setting for contemplation, meditation, or simple relaxation.
