Let's back up to the beginning of this post.
"The Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden’s $2 million grant from the USDA Forestry Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program is among the funding casualties."
Here is where the grant money came from :
The USDA grant was enabled by the Inflation Reduction Act, which allocated $370 billion to combat climate change in 2022. Putzel said the grant was intended to ensure the more than 100-year-old garden, a federally designated community forest, could “really stand on its feet in the future because this should be here forever.”
What does growing Ulu and Kalo have to do with climate change ??
Nothing !
That's why it was cut.
