Welcome to my garden!
Plants - in northern sámi and latin
These are some of the wild, edible plants that grow in and around my garden. I come from a culture with an endangered language, so it brings me some joy to share these names and their meanings here, as well as remind people of how many edible and lovely plants surround us every day. Please learn about your local flora and fauna and gather with caution!
