Meet the "Three Sisters." Maize. Beans. Squash. This planting method was developed by Indigenous communities in Mesoamerica more than 3,000 years ago and continues to be implemented in contemporary agriculture, at Denver Botanic Gardens' Chatfield Farms and York Street locations! Modern crop scientists have shown that when grown together, the three sisters produce more protein and energy in the same space compared to monoculture techniques, and don’t require frequent crop rotations. Many traditions include a fourth sister, although the species varies between regions and communities. In the southwest, Bee Plant is often incorporated to attract pollinators, also providing edible leaves, flowers and pods. Other companions include amaranth and sunflower. The "Three Sisters" are testament to the ancestral knowledge of indigenous communities and their connection to the land. Denver Botanic Gardens acknowledges the land known as Colorado, and sites of our operations and plant research around the world, are traditional homelands of Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. We have much to learn from their deep relationships to and intricate knowledge of this land. The scientific study of biodiversity is the foundation of botanic gardens. #nativeamericanheritagemonth
