Discover the wonder of ancient sea gardens on the Northwest Coast
Sea gardens have been created by First Peoples on the Northwest
coast for more than three thousand years. These gardens consist of
stone reefs that are constructed at the lowest tide line,
encouraging the growth of clams and other marine life on the gently
sloped beach. This lyrical story follows a young child and an older
family member who set out to visit a sea garden early one morning,
as the lowest tides often occur at dawn. After anchoring their
boat, they explore the beach, discover the many sea creatures that
live there, hear the sputtering of clams and look closely at the
reef. They reflect on the people who built the wall long ago, as
well as those who have maintained it over the years. After digging
for clams, they tidy up the beach, then return home. An author's
note provides further information about sea gardens (also known as
clam gardens), which yield a reliable food source and have been
traditional places of learning. They have been found along the
Pacific coast, from Alaska to British Columbia to Washington State,
and some of these gardens are being restored today. The manuscript
has been vetted and approved by the scientists of the Clam Garden
Network and Kwaxsistalla Wathl'thla Clan Chief Adam Dick. Roy Henry
Vickers, whose ancestry includes the Tsimshian, Haida and Heiltsuk
First Nations, has created hauntingly beautiful images to accompany
the text. Key Text Features author's note Correlates to the Common
