Did you know that the Museum of Vancouver has a “Living Exhibition?” The Unity Indigenous Plant Garden was created in partnership with the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. The Garden was also planted and designed by T’uy’t’tanat Cease Wyss, an Indigenous Matriarch of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Sto:lo and Hawaiian people and an ethnobotanist, artist, activist and community-based educator.

This spring, we invite you to take a special guided plant walk in of the Garden with Katzie educator and knowledge-holder Deanna Miller. Deanna will highlight the Indigenous uses of the plants that are featured in the Garden, as well as speak to the connections between plants, land and language.
