Community Garden

The UYLC Community Garden, located in Kamiah, is a vibrant and thriving 40′ x 80′ plot dedicated to growing fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Our garden is now fully equipped with a garden shed, greenhouse, and raised garden beds, providing ample space for cultivation. We successfully achieved a full growing season in the spring of 2024 and have been harvesting a bountiful yield for the kids and youth in our community.

Thanks to a generous grant from The Nez Perce Tribe, we are excited to announce the addition of a specific area in the garden that will feature traditional plants, such as lavender, sage, sweetgrass, and rosemary, used in traditional ceremonies and healing practices, such as sweating. The UYLC garden will also include a traditional Medicine Wheel.

As the garden continues to flourish, we look forward to inviting the broader community to join us for harvesting one to two days per week. Together, we are cultivating not only crops but also a sense of unity and shared purpose.
