Event Description:
The McKee Preservation Group, which is raising funds for a planned Native American Cultural & Environmental Center at Churchill Woods Forest Preserve, is unveiling a 3-Sisters Garden.
Construction of the 3-Sisters Garden has been under way in an empty lot adjacent to Stacy’s Tavern in Glen Ellyn. The garden highlights how Native Americans traditionally produced corn beans and squash together in a manner that did not deplete the soil of nutrients. This garden will be adjacent to another garden that follows methods used by non-indigenous settlers who began arriving in the 1830’s.
On May 23, from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, all are welcome to come help plant the gardens with the seeds for the 3-sisters (corn, beans and squash). This will be a great activity for the kids!
The American Indian mound garden is on the grounds of Stacy’s Tavern Museum located at 557 Geneva Rd. in Glen Ellyn.
