Description

Ethnobotany: If Plants Could Talk - A Cherokee Relationship

Our very own Tony Harris, a GNPS North Metro Atlanta Chapter member and Cherokee Nation elder, shares his knowledge of traditional medicinal plants through the Cherokee Garden at Green Meadows Preserve, highlighting the vital role Georgia’s native plants play in sustaining both ecological health and cultural traditions. The garden itself, a Georgia Native Plant Society restoration project, is also designated as an “Interpretive Site” on the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail.
