- vertical, sprawling, climbing
- Includes seeds that are culturally important to the Cherokee; selected to honor traditional foodways and regional heritage. Based on traditional companion planting systems that support biodiversity, soil health, and cooperative growth.
- These seeds perform well across most U.S. regions and especially thrive in warm, humid climates like Florida. Sun, healthy soil, and a diversity of quality seed varieties is key. Use mulch to retain moisture, reduce maintenance, and support soil life. Beans climb, fix nitrogen, and benefit from structural support. Sprawling crops like squash or melons shade the soil and retain moisture. Observe, gain understanding, and interact. Participation is more important than perfection—your garden will grow as a living system either way. See individual growing tips per variety.
