| | Concordia College plants its first Indigenous medicinal herb garden |
The community garden at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., is increasingly living up to its name: Cornucopia.
On a sweltering mid-summer afternoon, the overflowing horn of plenty overflowed even more with a newly planted Indigenous medicinal herb garden — the first of its kind for the college. It’s planted amid rows of wildflowers, cased in the sound of windchimes and aroma of ripening tomato plants.
“I really hope this is a space of just healing,” said Brandon Baity, interim executive director of the Indigenous Association in Fargo. “A space of community.” | |
