Abstract
This study presents Mrs Luiza Souza's backyard as cultural heritage. We researched how to build this backyard based on knowledge about land use, plant cultivation, harvest and use of land products. We gathered the knowledge and also carried out a survey of medicinal, food and ornamental plants found in the yard of Mrs Luísa Souza, 83 years old, from Natividade-RJ. The way of working the yard is part of an African heritage knowledge. This yard stands out for the fact that it cultivates a diversity of plants for medicinal, therapeutic, food and ornamental purposes with well-defined utilities and specified by the owner. It is a collection of knowledge with well-defined purposes for use by family, friends and inhabitants of the region. It is a transdisciplinary study in the areas of urbanism, ethnobotany, pharmacology, cultural heritage, family history and urban history of the black population.
