Want a healthier, more productive garden? Try companion planting—pairing plants that help each other thrive.

1. It's All About Teamwork

Some plants deter pests, attract pollinators, or boost each other's growth. For example, basil next to tomatoes can improve flavor and repel bugs.

2. A Few Great Combos

Plant marigolds with veggies to keep pests away, or try beans with corn—they fix nitrogen and give each other support.

3. What to Avoid

Not all plants get along. Keep onions away from beans, and don't plant fennel near other herbs. Do a quick check before planting buddies.
