Queen Sophia Marigold - A very fragrant scented floral that keeps many pests like white flies away from your tomatoes and peppers. Pesky mosquitoes will also stay away so you can garden in peace!

Wormwood - A strongly scented herb that can deter aphids and flea beetles from attacking neighbouring plants. Its yellow flowers attract hoverflies, lacewings and ladybirds, which prey on aphids.

Common Chives - When planted alongside carrots, its strong scent confuses and deters the carrot root fly which can smell carrots from up to a mile away.

Cilantro - Discourages potato beetles, attracts hoverflies and can be made into a tea to formulate a spray used to eradicate spider mites.

Dmytro's Ukrainian Dill - Attracts beneficial ladybugs, which eat aphids. Dill is also a food source for caterpillars and butterflies.

Gigante di Napoli Parsley - Attracts beneficial insects to protect and pollinate tomatoes. Plant this herb between tomatoes.

Common Buckwheat - Beneficial insects are attracted to the buckwheat blossoms while deterring flea beetles, leaf hoppers, and other common potato pests.

Empress of India Nasturtium - A perfect trap crop for greenhouse pests such as aphids and whiteflies. Also a great companion plant for tomatoes, cucumbers and Brassicas.  Cucumber beetles are not a fan of Nasturtiums!

Genovese Basil - In addition to enhancing the flavour of tomatoes, basil also attracts beneficial insects and pollinators that will deter whiteflies, thrips, mosquitos, and many other predators in the garden.
