Medicine Garden Planting

Tuesday, Jul 16 202410am - 12pm

Peace and Friendship Park, 1170 Hollis St.

Join us for the Medicine Garden Planting event which concludes our Seeding & Beading project. All are welcome, even if you have not participated in previous Seeding & Beading events! 

We will transform the garden bed at Peace and Friendship Park into an accessible community garden, with Indigenous medicines and other useful plants for harvesting. This garden will be maintained by the city of Halifax. 

We will be transplanting the plants grown from seeds sourced from Cultural Seeds and collected from the Dalhousie Pollinator Garden last fall. If you participated in the Winter Seed Sowing event, please bring your mini greenhouses back so we can give your plants a home in the garden. Tools and additional plants will be provided. 

This project is part of Seeding and Beading, a Treaty Space Gallery and MAAE thesis initiative funded by Indigenous Youth Roots: 

“Seeding and Beading: a Community & Land-based method to Counter-memorializing Sites of Difficult Histories asks, “can community gatherings participating in land-based practices be used to counter-memorialize and transform our relationship to sites of difficult histories?” This project looks to gardening and art-making as methods for a series of workshops to support learning and transforming our relationship to sites of difficult histories. It comes from wanting to expand on ways to promote critical understandings of caring for the land and difficult histories tied to settler colonial violence.”
