#AmericanIndian #CulturalGarden opens on campus
May 27, 2025
"#NCBG, #AIC, and University staff cut the ribbon on the new American Indian Cultural Garden on campus. Photo by Joshua Chorman.
"In late April, North Carolina Botanical Garden staff joined students and staff from the American Indian Center (AIC) at #UNC to celebrate the grand opening of the American Indian Cultural Garden on campus.
"Created through a partnership between the AIC and the Garden over several years, the American Indian Cultural Garden features culturally-important food crops and #NativePlants. It also contains hardscape features like a medicine wheel and ceremonial circle with a fire pit, where Native students will be able to gather.
"Located across the street from the AIC and wrapping around the #CarolinaCommunityGarden, the new garden serves as a space to celebrate American Indian cultures and Indigenous ecological knowledge, support American Indian students in adjusting to life on campus, and serve as a teaching tool for the greater community. All are welcome: it’s open to the public from dawn to dusk.
"Dan Stern, NCBG director of horticulture, served as the project manager for the construction of the American Indian Cultural Garden. Becca Wait, curator of our Allen Education Center landscapes, worked with AIC interns to create plans for planting, design, and maintenance."

#Gardens that Nurture #Culture
Spring 2022
Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.
" 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.
"In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.
"While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."
