The sayuyay Garden Plants & Beds

 Sayuyay Garden is a space and an idea originated by Marja Eloheimo, a professor at The Evergreen State College, and Bruce subiyay Miller of the Skokomish Indian Tribe. The garden is composed of four raised beds affiliated with different body systems and other structured beds which are a part of a larger ethnobotanical garden representative of different ecosystems in the Puget Sound.

The garden has been in creation since 1996. Hundreds of people from Evergreen, Skokomish, and other interconnected communities have spent hours contributing to the garden: it is a constant state of becoming that will always need others to continue its existence. Sayuyay has the potential to educate us by transforming our relationships with plants, animals, the earth, our languages and each other.

Sayuyay's sister garden is currently being planned and created at the Longhouse gardens at The Evergreen State College.

We are honoured to have been enveloped by the garden's story; we are honoured to be a part of the garden's story and we look forward to the unfolding of both past and future stories.
