View this presentation from the students and staff who collaborated with the Onondaga Nation School to hear first hand how ideas were transformed into a culturally significant garden space.

A year-long collaboration among the Onondaga Nation School, the Onondaga Nation, and Cornell Botanic Gardens culminated in a medicinal garden on the 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. The garden was installed on September 27, 2024.
