 Native Americans have planted the three sisters garden: a companion planting of corn, beans, and squash. Come learn how the practice of growing plants together that have complementary requirements and do not compete for light, water, or other resources can result in better growth of each plant. Learn which herbs make good companions and which can attract beneficial pollinators, deter pests, and more. Registered GreenThumb community gardens will be able to take home herbs while supplies last.
