Why Is Companion Planting Important?
Have you ever gone to the garden center and come home with a fistful of seed packets and a big tray full of seedling plants?
You then plant them in whatever space you have available in your garden.
You might arrange them in a way you feel is attractive, but never consider that your new plants might be near other plants they don’t get along with.
The end result is a skimpy harvest or even a complete crop failure.
How Does Companion Planting Work?
If you know in advance what plants get along with each other, and in some cases actually benefit each other, your garden will prosper.
Companion Planting is the study of how some plants grow happily together, and others just plain don’t!
Let me show you how to successfully grow 42 Vegetables, 19 Herbs, 16 Fruits, and 40 Flowers together by working with nature.
As an Example, the ever-popular Tomato plant LOVES the company of certain plants, and HATES the company of others.
My latest gardening book discusses 61 Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and Flowers that Tomatoes LOVE to grow with, and 42 that Tomatoes HATE growing with.
How Do You Get Started? Keep Reading!
“COMPANION PLANTING SIMPLIFIED: How To Grow The Best Vegetables, Herbs, Fruit, And Flowers By Working With Nature” by Susan R. Godden is available on AMAZON in Paperback.
This is not just a generic gardening book that has a chapter or two on Companion Planting. The entire book is devoted to just that one subject.
This book is written in PLAIN ENGLISH with loads of beautiful full color photos, and will take the “trial and error” out of your gardening endeavor.
Tried-And-True Gardening Advice
I have been gardening for well over fifty years. Actual hands-in-the-dirt experience is always the best way to learn.
Many years ago, I planted an Asparagus bed next to a bed of Garlic. It only took about a year for them to kill each other.
It was a very expensive lesson to learn, and stimulated my curiosity about why some plants do not perform well together.
The knowledge in this book is tried-and-true. These Companion Planting practices have been tested over many decades by myself and my family.
Read What Others Have Said About The Book
Some of the Reviews you can read on AMAZON about my book include:
“This book has made a difference in how I plant my garden, and explains why my tomatoes grow bigger away from our raspberry bushes! It contains great information for any gardener, whether they are a beginner or master.”
“This book has some really helpful ideas for people like me who need to know more about what plants are helpful to other plants. Good purchase for great hints!”
“Beautifully written and illustrated.”

You Might Say: “BUT I ALREADY HAVE A COMPANION PLANTING BOOK”
Most books on the subject only discuss Companion Planting in a chapter or two. They tend to be just generic gardening books. You can usually tell this just by looking through the Table Of Contents or the Index.
My 175 page book is strictly devoted to the subject of Companion Planting, and goes in-depth on the subject.
I include many “Quick Scan” Charts in case you just want the information about each individual plant, without having to sort through a large amount of text first to find what you want.
For those of you who are interested in “guilds (food forests)” or “perennial gardening,” you should find plenty of use for this book.
Your harvest will be more abundant if you plant by using my Companion Planting Method.
If you want to avoid getting to the end of the growing season and face the disappointment of all the work and expense producing little or nothing, you must try my book, “COMPANION PLANTING SIMPLIFIED: How To Grow The Best Vegetables, Herbs, Fruit, And Flowers By Working With Nature,” by Susan R. Godden.
Happy Planting! Susan
