When curating your garden, be mindful of which vegetables or flowers work well together and which just don’t get along for a prosperous growing season. Planting certain varieties of vegetables and flowers together can be extremely beneficial for both plants, as they can help ward off unwanted pests or diseases and help each other thrive. However, some plants compete for resources and can severely harm or kill each other if planted too close. Create a thriving plant community with these perfect companion pairings.
