Pairing plants that genuinely help each other grow, for a healthier garden with fewer pests.
Some plants genuinely help each other when grown together — repelling pests, improving pollination, or supporting each other's growth — and companion planting takes advantage of those relationships intentionally. This guide covers the pairings that actually work.
Inside: classic companion pairings and why they work (like the "Three Sisters" of corn, beans, and squash), plants that repel pests naturally when grown nearby, combinations to avoid that compete or inhibit each other, and planning a garden layout around these relationships. A deeper-skill guide for gardeners past the true beginner stage.
Includes quick-reference cheat sheets and tool/template checklists (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
