Garden to Kitchen | The Three Sisters

The “Three Sisters,” corn, beans, and squash, can be planted together to nurture the ground soil and promote a larger harvest. The polycultural planting practice is deeply rooted in the practices of indigenous peoples of Central and North America. Watch as our educators explain how to plant the Three Sisters and make a delicious dip that combines the three.

Planting seasons may vary depending on your planting zone. Because the Poe Center is located in central North Carolina, we plant in Zone 8B. To find your planting zone, go to https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/
