Indigenous Garden

Gardening advice out of Florida is encouraging homeowners to 'go native' — swapping exotic ornamentals for plants indigenous to their region. The argument is that native plants give a garden greater purpose, supporting local wildlife such as pollinators and birds while often needing less water and care. The piece is part of a broader push in the gardening world toward wildlife-friendly, sustainable yards.

Students at the University of Wisconsin-Superior have built a traditional Ojibwe medicine garden on campus, according to Northern News Now. The garden reflects Indigenous plant knowledge and offers students a hands-on way to learn about Ojibwe cultural practices and traditional healing plants. The project highlights the university's engagement with Native American heritage in the Superior region.
