Traditional. Authentic. Respectful.
For more than five decades, Colleen’s Gardens has hand-harvested herbs and hand-crafted Native American goods — sourced with care and shared with respect for Mother Nature and tradition.
A Family Legacy from Marvin, South Dakota
Colleen’s Gardens is a small, family-run business built on generations of knowledge. Our sole proprietor, Colleen Cordell, is a member of the Sisseton Wahpeton/Sioux Tribe and the great-great-great-granddaughter of Sioux Chief Little Crow.
Colleen learned her growing and crafting skills from her grandmother and great-grandmother, and she stays busy harvesting and hand-making our herbs and Native American gifts — always taking no more from the land than we need.
Alongside our traditional spirituality herbs and medicine bags, we offer beadwork, pipe bags, dream catchers, and more. Our selection is always changing, so check back often.
