Posted by Tilly Laskey on Tuesday, August 19
SMM’s ethnobotany research doubles as a venue for exhibitions and teaching visitors about American Indian uses of plants. This is the Turtle Effigy garden. It’s in the shape of a turtle with four quadrants featuring plants used for women, men, children, and general health issues. The head and tail are planted with sage, and the four legs are sweetgrass.
