Sacred Earth is an ethnobotanical garden and displays plants that have historically been used by the over 20 Native American tribes from the Colorado Plateau (which includes parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah). The garden also includes a dryland agriculture demonstration garden that incorporates Native American heirloom crops and traditional cultivation methods.

When the garden was redesigned in 2000 there was an official blessing by representatives of the Tarahumara Pueblo, Sioux and Hopi tribes.
