Traditional Plantings
In this historic kitchen garden, we are partnering with Lucy Grignon (enrolled member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Nation and a direct descendant of the Menominee Nation) of Ancient Roots Homestead to honor the land on which the museum sits by replanting Native plants, and reframing our connection with plants and all living things. Stay tuned to watch as it grows!
