Yellow Bird Life Ways provides Garden seed starter kits, gardening support, and programming for our relatives on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana. We invite you to sign up as soon as possible, we are taking a limited number of new applicants, please sign up (full form) and you are automatically enrolled into the program. This program is for family gardens and not for large scale production.

We have seeds, gardening supplies, tools, and education to help support you while you create your beautiful garden. In return, you will need to care for your garden from planting to harvesting and preservation. We ask that you take good care of the seeds and the supplies that are gifted to you.
