Harmony Garden, X̱wemelch’stn pen̓em̓áy, is a fourteen-year-old food forest and place of community, offering a safe, vibrant, colorful and creative place for gathering and connection. The arts are naturally incorporated into the space, as Harmony Garden partners with emerging Indigenous artists on a variety of projects. The garden invites visitors to learn about the Indigenous plants that grow throughout Sḵwx̱wú7mesh land, many of which are growing right there in the garden.
