Indigenous Gardens Cultivate Healing
[]
YES! Magazine - Environment
Ethnobotanical gardens can create a welcoming and healing space for all—especially for Indigenous participants—through emphasizing human relationships with native plants.
Educational institutions such as Cornell University; Syracuse University; University of California, Berkeley; UC Riverside; Seattle University; Belmont University; Oregon State University; University of Montana; and others have recently established ethnobotanical gardens, native plant gardens, and four sisters gardens as a means to restore Indigenous flora.
On college campuses, as in many places, this is done by imagining they were never here in the first place.
In an effort to re-Indigenize college campuses, BIPOC students, allies, alumni, and faculty are introducing gardens and cultural houses based on Indigenous practices to campuses.
Volunteers from the Red Bison student group plant Native plants in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign South Arboretum.
