The Grace Hudson Museum Wild Gardens provides an educational and cultural resource in the city of Ukiah, teaching people of all ages about native plants and their cultural importance and providing a place to harvest plants for traditional uses. Sherrie Smith-Ferrie, the former executive director and curator of Ukiah’s Grace Hudson Museum and a member of Sonoma County's Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, along with Andrea Davis, a local landscape designer, will introduce participants to the history, inspiration, and planning behind the creation of the Wild Gardens at Grace Hudson Museum and speak about the interwoven evolution of native people with native plants. Sherrie and Andrea will also discuss some of the successes and failures they have experienced in trying to realize the gardens’ original vision, particularly vis-à-vis others' reactions to the native grasses in the gardens. A tour of the Wild Gardens will round out the afternoon. The gardens contain at least 20 species of grasses, sedges, and rushes.
