The Three Sisters Garden

Clara loved to learn about plants. She heard about a special way to grow food from long ago. It was called "The Three Sisters." This was a wise way Native American people planted their gardens. The three sisters were corn, beans, and squash. Each plant helped the others grow strong. Tall corn stalks gave the beans a place to climb up. The beans added good food to the dirt for the corn and squash. Wide squash leaves spread out on the ground. They kept weeds away and helped the soil stay wet. This made a happy home for all the plants. People still use this smart method today. It shows how plants can be good friends.
