Our first corn harvest! Three Sisters Garden update

07/24/2025

Wildflower member Brandy Nichols displays our first harvest of corn this year from our Faith Garden (a community garden shared by Faith Presbyterian Church, Wildflower Church, and our community friends and neighbors).

Brandy Nichols holds a string of corn in the husks in the Wildflower Community Room

The corn is the first crop from our Three Sisters garden plot (which consists of corn, beans, and pumpkins or squash), which was planted in partnership with Central Texas Cherokee Township’s Three Sisters Program.

Gratitude to all the gardeners, including youth and children of Wildflower, who have planted, watered, and tended our crops, together. We are also especially grateful to CTCT’s Doug Martin, for his generosity in sharing gardening knowledge and Cherokee heirloom seeds with our community. 

The corn is currently being dried and will later be ground into flour during a food sovereignty workshop which will be planned at a later date in the fall.
