The Science Museum of Minnesota's ethnobotany
<http://www.smm.org/anthropology/ethnobotany>  project sows and maintains
gardens each summer in the museum's Big Back Yard
<http://www.smm.org/bigbackyard> .   The project began in 2004 with a
Turtle Effigy
<http://www.smm.org/static/bigbackyard/plantguide_turtle-effigy.pdf>
medicinal herb garden and expanded in later years to include a Three
Sisters garden of Native American varieties of corn, beans and squash and
other ethnobotany gardening projects.  Follow the Tending Traditions
<http://tendingtraditions.tumblr.com/>  blog to learn about this season's
activities.  The Big Back Yard also contains a wide variety of fruit trees
and shrubs.  See the plant guide
<http://www.smm.org/bigbackyard/plantguide>  for a complete list of edible
fruits in the park. The head of the museum's ethnobotany project is Scott
