Companion plants for pest control

Plants for natural pest control support a healthy, balanced garden ecosystem — completely without chemical inputs. Many traditional crops, herbs and wild species contain natural scents, essential oils or growth characteristics that repel pests while attracting beneficial insects. They strengthen plant health, improve soil quality and contribute to a stable, diverse garden culture.

At Benjis Seeds, you’ll find open‑pollinated, traditional varieties and wild plants that have proven themselves for generations as natural companion plants. They help create a resilient garden environment, support biological pest control and protect vegetables, herbs and fruit in an ecological, sustainable way.
