The Beginner’s Garden with Jill McSheehy
When you hear "companion planting," do you feel excited, skeptical, or just plain confused? In this episode, we're cutting through the myths and giving you a practical, science-backed approach to pairing plants in your garden.
What You'll Learn: 🌿 Myth 1: Do certain plants really boost each other’s growth? 🐞 Myth 2: Can companion planting truly prevent all pests? 🌱 Myth 3: Will plants always thrive together if paired correctly? ☀️ Myth 4: Does plant height matter in companion planting? 🌸 Myth 5: Is companion planting only for pest control?
Along the way, I’ll share my personal experiences—both successes and surprises—and help you see that companion planting doesn’t have to be complicated. Plus, I’ll tell you how to go deeper with my free live workshop and my garden planning course, Dream to Garden!
