The Three Sisters: Corn, Beans, and Squash - Indigenous Companion Planting Guide #269637 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the Indigenous companion planting system known as the Three Sisters, where tall corn stalks serve as natural trellises for pole beans, and sprawling squash vines cover the ground to conserve moisture and deter pests. Each plant contributes uniquely: corn offers structure, beans fix nitrogen in the soil, and squash acts as a living mulch. The image includes instructional text explaining their symbiotic relationship and a coloring activity for learners.
