Native American Agriculture - Corn , Beans and Squash Life Cycle Clip Art
- Zip
Description
This big 60 piece set features the fascinating Native American horticultural system known as The Three Sisters. This companion planting system utilized corn, squash, and beans. Corn served as a pole for the beans to climb, while squash sprawled along the ground blocking the growth of weeds and creating a micro-climate that slowed the evaporation of water from the soil. Sometimes a "fourth sister" was added in the form of a pollinator attracting plant such as rocky mountain bee plant, and dead fish were placed in the soil as fertilizer.
These graphics could easily be used to incorporate plant biology into a history lesson or vice versa. Included are all three plant life cycles and a diagram featuring parts of a corn kernel.
The set includes 30 PNG color illustrations, and 30 PNG blackline/grayscale versions. These are high resolution (300 dpi) transparent background graphics. No watermarks will appear on the files that you download.
The clip art illustrations measure approximately 6 inches to preserve image quality when re-sizing. Included are the following:
● Fish (used as fertilizer)
