3 Sisters Garden Planting at USDA People's Garden April 22, 2009

Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan officially kicked off an Earth Day celebration at the U.S. Dept of Agriculture's Whitten Building with Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Brings Plenty by planting corn, beans and squash in the traditional Native American way in the People's Garden. The People's Garden is on a corner of USDA property that has been dug up to bring organic gardening methods to greater awareness. In addition to the 3 Sisters Garden, it includes raised beds, container gardens and other planting demonstrations. The USDA says the food grown there will go to local food banks. The garden is easily accessible from the National Mall.
