Decolonizing the ways public gardens create and sustain plant collections
This grant team is building on the existing Uzima Project, an international partnership that brings together faculty research and longstanding collaborative student programs between Cornell and Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre in Moshi, Tanzania. The team’s immediate goal is to build a community-based infrastructure for the living collections of a decolonial teaching, research and healing garden at the teaching-research hospital. The garden will support inquiry into fundamental questions about that which constitutes nourishment and healing in the face of contemporary environmental and health challenges.
