Taqwsheblu Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden (Lushootseed spelling taqʷšəblu; sometimes simply Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden)[1] is a botanical garden on the Seattle University campus, in the U.S. state of Washington. The garden is named after Vi Hilbert, a Native American tribal elder of the Upper Skagit,[2] and commemorates her work to document and preserve the Lushootseed language.[3]
Description
According to Seattle University, the garden is among several on campus which "[showcase] the relationship between Lushootseed language-speaking peoples and the native plants of our southern Salish Sea region".[4]
Curbed's 2019 list of sixteen "breathtaking" botanical gardens in the Seattle metropolitan area said the garden "highlights plants important to First Peoples of the Puget Sound region—whether, sacred, culinary, utility, or a combination".[5]
Signs throughout the garden display plant names in Lushootseed, along with information about local Indigenous peoples' relationship with them.[6]
