Students and staff from the Onondaga Nation School and Cornell Botanic Gardens collaborated to transform their school grounds into a culturally significant garden space last September.
This year-long collaboration culminated in a medicinal garden on the Onondaga Nation school grounds, located in Nedrow, New York. The garden project aligns with the goals of the Onondaga Nation and Onondaga Nation School of incorporating more hands-on, project-based opportunities for students that incorporate knowledge from and about their own culture. Students in Cornell Botanic Gardens’ Learning by Leading program engaged extensively with the Onondaga Nation School on native plants and design ideas.
