Collection: Pest Deterring Plants

Grow against pests. 

Nature has its own built-in pest control, and certain plants are not only beautiful and fragrant but also work hard to keep unwanted insects at bay. Lemongrass, for example, contains citronella oil, a well-known mosquito repellent that also adds a refreshing citrus scent to your garden. Peppermint’s strong aroma confuses and deters ants, aphids, and even mice, while also attracting helpful pollinators like bees. Marigolds bring cheerful bursts of color and release a scent that repels nematodes, whiteflies, and other garden pests, making them excellent companions for vegetables and herbs.

By planting these natural defenders, you can reduce your reliance on chemical sprays, promote a healthier ecosystem, and enjoy a garden that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
