Gardening enthusiasts often seek ways to optimize their plots for better yields, healthier plants, and reduced pest problems. One time-honored technique that has proven effective is companion planting. This method involves strategically placing certain plants together so they benefit each other in various ways, from improving growth to deterring pests. It can be as simple as planting stinky things, like mums or various herbs, by extra tasty plants like roses or even lettuce in order to deter deer. Read on for more examples that are not only practical, it can also be quite beautiful!

Dating back 12,000 years, North American indigenous people referred to a form of companion planting as the “three sisters” — squash, beans, and corn (Medium). Companion planting is based on the idea that certain plants can mutually benefit each other when grown in close proximity. These benefits can include pest control, improved growth, and enhanced flavor. The right combinations can create a more productive and harmonious garden.
