Seed Garden is approached through the lens of the ongoing project, The Abortion Herb Garden, a collaborative research-based installation by the artist, gardener, and independent researcher Landon Newton. Planted exclusively with abortifacient, emmenagogic, and contraceptive herbs at the Brown Hall Teaching Garden, each plant included has historically been used for contraception, birth control, and/or abortion. The installation includes Values Day Workshop participants responses to �seed� questions about their vision for the future of reproductive healthcare cyanotypes they created using plants from the installation. These collaborative contributions were incorporated into the on-campus Seed Garden exhibit in the Brown Hall Teaching Garden. The installation ran from November 14, 2024 through April 30, 2025. Seed Garden was presented by the Creative Arts Department, Hand Art Center, and Sustainable Food Systems. Photographed January 31, 2025.
