Montreal community garden brings together global plants and Indigenous traditions

A Montreal community garden is integrating Indigenous traditions by planting traditional crops and using ancestral agricultural practices. Managed by local volunteers, this initiative aims to reconnect people with nature and promote sustainability. The garden includes 'Three Sisters' companions—corn, beans, and squash—that support each other's growth. The project fosters cultural exchange and education about Indigenous agricultural knowledge, aiming to enhance community resilience and food security. The garden encourages participation from diverse groups to enhance mutual understanding and share traditional ecological practices.
