The Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex held the first of two days of it's annual planting of the museum's interpretive garden. The public along with museum volunteers work together to make the garden grow.
Corn, beans and squash, which were often known as the Three Sisters among Native Americans will be accompanied by sunflowers.
The latter are native to North America, and were likely known by the Adena people who constructed the Grave Creek Mound. There were also kids on hand with the opportunity to learn about nature.
"Just learning how to plant things and maybe recognize a few plants and appreciate nature," Program Coordinator Andrea Keller said. "Because we found some praying mantis cocoons and that's kind of an interesting little thing for them to look at."
The second planting day is set for Saturday, June 4 from Noon to 4 p.m.
