what’s growing at the gardens?

metaphorically and literally:

• a revitalized practice of excellence and Indigenous food sovereignty •
ideas & community connection • skills & learning • enthusiasm & bravery

in the soil:
2026 kin in the gardens including intended edible crops, self-seeding volunteers, and those in the native plant nursery for restoring the territory

fruits & vegetables
• apple* (16 varietals) • apricot* • beet • broccoli • cabbage • carrot • cauliflower • celery • corn (Painted Mountain, Blue Popcorn) • garlic (and scapes) • kale • melons (cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon) • onions (sweet, yellow, purple) • peach* • pepper – hot (cayenne, jalapeno, habanero, and more) • pepper – sweet (multiple color varietals) • potato (Russet, Red, Yukon Gold) • pumpkin • raspberry • radish • strawberry • tobacco (for ceremony) • tomato (many varietals! includes beefstake, Manitoba, roma)

*since these take a few years to establish and mature, yields for 2026 are likely to be light. Consider these more like ‘legacy project’ crops for this season. Eyes to the future!

flowers
• dyer’s chamomile • marigold • nasturtium • sunflower

note: available harvest depends on many things: how much we have planted; growing conditions; what grows when, and what week things need to be picked by (i.e. harvest cycle)

native plants (seedlings / cuttings)
• baldhip rose • big sagebrush • black hawthorn • black huckleberry • chokecherry • cottonwood • douglas fir • gaillardia aristate • green alder • kinnikinnick • oregon grape • paper birch • ponderosa pine • red dogwood • shrubby penstemon • soopalallie • siya • trembling aspen • wild strawberry

note: Life is bigger than we can put into words. These lists are as accurate as we can get them, and there can be changes on the land. Come see for yourself!

Stay tuned! We are working to get the language back on our tongues and into regular practice. nsyilxcən names for the lists above are to come.
