Companion Planting Information and Chart

Companion planting at it's best -corn, climbing beans and squash form the ancient Three Sisters Guild

We recently received an e-mail from a gentleman in China looking for...

"what plants you may have in your garden that you can transplant next to your Rose or your Apple tree to see how they nurture each other over time"

I thought I would post our own updated list of companion plants for him and anyone else interested. While I would love to say this plant or that plant are "best" I feel I must remind folks to keep in mind your climate, soil and many, many other factors that determine how well these plants cooperate together.  Trial and error is the best choice to begin companion planting but the chart below should lead you in the right direction...

How many times have your family and friends said to you,

“If only I had more time to spend in the garden!” or

“It would be great to have an expert over to consult with me about my gardens.”?

If your answer was "A LOT!" then give the gift of a garden or garden advice to your friends and family.
