Bonus Pack - Native American Three Sisters Garden

According to Iroquois legend, corn, beans and squash/pumpkins are inseparable sisters; precious gifts from the Great Spirit. The tradition of interplanting them in the same mounds is actually a sophisticated, sustainable system providing long-term soil fertility and healthy harvests. Growing a Three Sisters Garden is a wonderful way to feel more connected to the history of this land, regardless of our ancestry.

Includes a packet of each:

Earth-Tones Indian Dent Corn provides natural poles for bean vines to climb and the beautiful dried ears make tasty cornmeal and/or decorations.

Rattlesnake Bean Vines support the corn stalks and fix nitrogen on their roots to improve soil fertility. Blossoms attract pollinators and high protein dried beans are great for chili.

Shallow-rooted Sugar Pie Pumpkin Vines make a living mulch, shading out weeds and preventing moisture loss. Use Sugar Pie Pumpkins for tasty pies and holiday celebrations.
