Three Sisters at UGA

The Ethnobotanical Garden of the Americas (previously the Latin American Ethnobotanical Garden) at the University of Georgia is garden where medicinal plants from places like the Caribbean, Mexico, South and Central America, and the US Southeast grow. In April, INAS planted a Three Sisters garden in the central bed.  Keep an eye out for the new Ethnobotanical Garden of the Americas website and our Three Sisters harvest event next fall.

This symbiotic planting of squash, beans, and corn together fed people in the eastern US for centuries before European contact.

Thanks to WUGA’s Emma Auer for this great story on what adding the Three Sisters to the garden means for UGA scholars and Indigenous students.
