Kathy Connell will share her experience growing a Three Sisters Garden for the past 15 years. She will share what she has learned including:

How the three plants help each other and us
How she developed her own strain of corn that grows well in this area and produces a fine soft gluten-free corn flour
What type of bean works well
Squash that keeps usable right on your kitchen counter winter thru April
How to plant the seeds, so they help each other grow
How to collect seeds from the plants for the next season’s garden
How to store and use what is grown

Kathy will bring her mill and grind some of the corn she has grown, make fresh hot corncakes to taste, sprinkled with some of Polly Bedeau’s freshly made Onigum maple sugar.
Kathy has graciously shared corn, bean and squash seeds we will use to grow a Three Sister’s Garden section in our Onigum Community Garden this year.
