Three Sister planting

The 3 sisters indigenous garden is a traditional agricultural practice that has been used by many Native American tribes for centuries. This sustainable gardening method involves the simultaneous cultivation of three complementary crops: corn, beans, and squash. The corn provides a sturdy structure for the beans to climb, the beans fix nitrogen in the soil to nourish the other plants, and the squash leaves shade the ground to retain moisture and prevent weed growth. This symbiotic relationship between the three crops creates a self-sustaining ecosystem that is not only highly productive but also preserves the health of the land. The 3 sisters garden is a testament to the ingenuity and environmental stewardship of indigenous peoples, and it continues to inspire sustainable agriculture practices around the world.

Come explore the vibrant community gardens by the Small Arms Inspection Building 1352 Lakeshore Rd E. Mississauga!
