Life is so much better when you get along with your neighbors. Plants agree! That’s why companion planting can help your garden thrive and flourish.
Companion planting is simple:
Just arrange plants in your garden so that they are near the ones they “get along with.” There are a few different ways plants can form symbiotic relationships with each other:
- Repel pests. Certain plants repel pests that might otherwise overtake their neighbors.
- Provide shade. Planting taller plants that need full sun next to those that like more shade is a space-saving strategy.
- Attract pollinators. Certain flowers attract butterflies and bees - which you should welcome in your garden!
