COMMON GROUND
Our American Garden
Many peoples and their plants have left a mark on the American landscape. Our gardens include plants that were found here, brought from other countries, or passed down by seed or shared with neighbors. These plants now represent a shared American heritage. As natives and newcomers interact, we all help develop gardens that are part of our homes, communities, and identities.
This garden borders the museum, sharing stories of memory, healing, discovery, and ingenuity. What we choose to plant is an expression of what we value and who we are.

You can visit the second floor of the museum's west wing for more stories on the nation we build together. |
