A garden in Albany Park is teaching the community about the importance of native plants and Chicago's native people.
Founded by the Chi-Nations Youth Council the First Nations Garden uses age-old farming practices to cleanse a once toxic plot of land and help Build a Better Chicago.
"The First Nations Garden was founded in 2019. It was an effort from Chi-Nation Youth Council youth to try to find a centralized location for our medicines, our foods.The soil wasn't good quality when we first moved here." "The knowledge that we get with the plants is taught to us by elders or other community members," Pochel said. "We have our Three Sisters Garden. It's rainbow gem corn, a variety of beans and a variety of squash. It's like a native system. like a collaborative way for the plants to grow.
