Children’s Museum of Phoenix: Nature Makers – 3 Sisters’ Planting

Explore the traditional “three sisters” planting method where corn, beans, and squash grow together in harmony, each supporting the others with nutrients and balance.

For many Indigenous communities, these “sisters” are more than crops; they represent sustenance, sustainability, and cultural tradition. Using sensory tools, children can model how these plants grow and work together, bringing this time-honored practice to life.

Ages 5 – 12
