Years on the Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour: New this year!
The Richmond Museum of History & Culture has a cozy corner of maintained grounds at the intersection of 4th St. and Nevin Ave.
In January 2021, LandSpaces of Richmond, California installed a garden of native plants that have cultural significance to the Ohlone and other California Indian peoples. The garden consists of nineteen plants loosely arranged into medicinal, edible and ritual areas. The plant list is provided below.
The native plant garden is a step toward transforming the grounds into a program and educational space. The Museum has been working with a Native American Advisory Council to renovate the Ohlone section of the permanent exhibit. The first element of the 
renovated exhibit explores the Chochenyo dialect of the Ohlone language and includes a section about plants. The presentation will provide information about how California Indian peoples used the plants from public sources in the Prezi format.
