“The Sayuyay Community Garden plot has been generously donated by the people in charge of the Skokomish Community Garden. The Sayuyay and Skokomish Community Garden share the same plot of land; the Sayuysy potion occupies a 200’ by 20’ strip in the northern half of the entire plot. The Skokomish C.G. grows food for sustenance. The Sayuyay C.G. grows medicinal and heirloom varieties of plants that are mostly used for educational purposes.”
