Mushkeeki Gitigan, meaning “Medicine Garden,” is the flagship program of the Indigenous Fellowship of Hamilton Road. Established in 2018, the garden serves as a community space where Indigenous knowledge, land-based learning, and cultural teachings are shared with youth, families, and community members.
Through the cultivation of traditional medicines and other culturally significant plants, the garden supports learning about Indigenous plant knowledge, harvesting protocols, and the cultural teachings connected to the land.
