we also commissioned @apricotjoy.bsky.social to make illustrations of a bunch of native plants in our community garden, I helped put together these labels with the word for each plant in the two most commonly spoken Indigenous languages in this area, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim and hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓
Illustrated labels of 8 different native plants, with their names written in multiple languages including Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim, hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, Latin, and English. Illustrations by April dela Noche Milne Photo of a native plant label of a salmon berry, installed in a garden bed and lit by filtered sunlight through leaves
