Garden Plans > 2020: Riverwind Bed Pacolet

About this Garden Plan

The community garden at the Riverwind Apartment Complex in Spartanburg, South Carolina, northernmost bed (nearest the railroad), named after the northernmost river from Riverwind, the Pacolet River. This year we are going to try something novel in this bed: the traditional Native American "Three Sisters" planting, with corn, beans and squash supporting each other.
