This book dives deep into the practice of companion planting in gardening. I know the basic of gardening and using host flowers for some vegetables (ex: nasturtiums planted next to squash can keep aphids and other pests at bay), but this book dives into companions for nearly every plant you can think of to add to your garden, and explains why it works. The way I would use this book is that of a reference guide, rather than a book to read cover to cover, although you certainly could if you wish!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy!

I really appreciate this classic gardening book. It's straightforward and helpful, and a great resource to have to refer back to when planting so you can have success in your garden yield. It contains simple and cute black and white illustrations that make it a joy to flip through!

Decent reference book for gardeners! I know nothing about gardening, which was why I wanted to read this. I learned a lot and it is a very thorough guide, organized by type of plant (vegetables, fruit, herbs, etc).

Carrots love Tomatoes felt like reading a grandmothers journal about gardening.

It is a lovely book jammed with information about every kind of green you can imagine.

I learned so incredibly much about the things I can grow, the things I already grow, and how to be successful while doing so.

The illustrations are beautiful, handmade with so much detail, and I was truly in awe the whole time.

A huge thanks to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the lovely opportunity to read this book.
And thank you, Louise Riotte, for making this amazing piece.

Great read for any gardener of any level! I learned quite a bit and have a better idea of how I want to do my own garden next year to make it thrive more.
