Three Sisters Garden at the Cobb

With the help of Blue Flax Landscaping and owner, Theresa Sprague, the Truro Historical Society has planted a Three Sisters Garden on the lawn of the Cobb Archive.

For many Native American communities, three seeds – corn, beans, and squash – represent the most important crops. When planted together, the Three Sisters, work together to help one another thrive and survive. This garden was planted in tribute to the Wampanoag peoples, including the Pamets of Truro, who were the original natives of the land we now call Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Inside the Three Sisters Garden – Event:

Join us at the Cobb Archive on Wednesday, July 15th at 4 PM for an inside look at the history of the Three Sisters garden. Marcus Hendricks, a native Wampanoag, will discuss the history of the plants that sustained Cape Cod’s Indigenous people for many hundreds of years. To register, email [email protected]. Fee $10 per person. Be sure to bring a lawn chair.
