Bay Mills Indian Community Gitigaan Kits

Aanii Boozhoo!

Miigwech for requesting your Gitigaan (Garden) Kit! In your kit, you will find your requested kit seeds, plant starts, and some gardening and recipe information. All of the seeds and plant starts are non-GMO, heirloom varieties that have been handpicked for our growing region. The plant starts have been lovingly grown by Gordon’s Produce, a local farm in Sault Ste. Marie. We hope that you enjoy gardening with your family, friends, and community this season!

We recommend following the planting guidelines that are suggested on your seed kit information flyer. If you are unfamiliar with starting a garden, check out this helpful article, or visit the Gardening in Michigan MSU Extension site.

MSU Extension is also committed to making its programs more inclusive and representative of Michigan’s Indigenous communities. Recently, MSU Extension educators worked with tribal health staff to adapt and implement Share Our Strength Cooking Matters® programs, including a collection of delicious, healthy recipes. 

Good luck on your gardening endeavor and happy gardening!
