Twelve years before the start of the game, Cid Kramer and his wife, Edea Kramer founded the Garden organization. They constructed Balamb Garden on the island of Balamb, and Galbadia Garden was built shortly thereafter. The Galbadian installation decided to focus its training program on technological aspects of combat rather than magic. Unlike Balamb Garden which attempts to maintain political independence, Galbadia Garden has long enjoyed a close association with the Galbadian government and its military.
This Garden is a member of the Tri Garden Alliance and as such, we guard our own...
Garden is family, Family forged through fire and blood,
We will never forget those that have come before, and pave the way for the ones that follow.
In Loving Memory of A Father I Barely Knew,
And To The Man To Which I Owe All The Happiness I Have Found,
Head Master Cid Kramer
