Hi- I once did a project based on seeds/plants from Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's estate. They offer some collections of native American plants that may be helpful to you. Also, Seed Saver's Exchange in Decorah, Iowa has many heirloom seeds from everywhere. The bed size could be small...especially for bed 1...did you check into the Three Sisters garden used by native Americans? But, not to worry, the kids will learn good things in whatever area and whatever time you have.

Hi friends,I need a little feedback on a proposed local school project to bring World History to life by creating four 3' x 15' theme gardens:bed #1 -- *Americas - squash, chili peppers, corn, bush beans, pumpkin, echinaceabed #2 -- *Ancient Greece - lavendar, leek, chive, basil, parsleybed #3 & #4 -- *China & Mesopotamia - rhubarb, barley, oatsMy concerns--* Will 3'x15' beds produce enough for the students to enjoy and learn from ?* Will these plants be ready to enjoy & harvest (learn from) when students are there before the middle of June and after Sept 1? (they do have a good summer upkeep plan in place)* Are there more representative plants for these themes?All suggestions and feedback welcome.Thanks,Judy in Washington DC
