Plant These Herbs to Protect Your Garden from Pests


Maintaining a healthy and pest-free garden can be a challenge, but certain herbs can help repel pests naturally while also adding flavor to your dishes. 

Here are some herbs to consider planting in your garden to keep pests at bay:


1. Basil: Not only does basil add a delightful aroma to your garden, but it also repels mosquitoes and flies. Plant basil near tomatoes to deter tomato hornworms and other pests.


2. Lavender: Lavender's strong scent repels many pests, including mosquitoes, flies, and moths. Plant lavender around the perimeter of your garden or near entryways to deter pests from entering.


3. Rosemary: Rosemary is known for its fragrant aroma and culinary uses, but it also repels a variety of pests, including mosquitoes, cabbage moths, and carrot flies. Plant rosemary near cabbage, carrots, and beans to protect them from pests.


4. Mint: Mint has a potent scent that repels pests such as ants, aphids, and rodents. Plant mint in containers or use it as a border plant to keep pests away from your garden.


5. Chives: Chives are not only tasty additions to salads and dishes, but they also repel pests like aphids, carrot flies, and Japanese beetles. Plant chives near roses, carrots, and tomatoes to protect them from pests.


6. Dill: Dill attracts beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings, which prey on aphids and other garden pests. Plant dill near cabbage, broccoli, and cucumbers to deter pests and attract helpful insects.


7. Thyme: Thyme's strong aroma deters pests like cabbage worms, cabbage moths, and slugs. Plant thyme near brassicas, such as cabbage and broccoli, to protect them from pests.


8. Oregano: Oregano's pungent scent repels pests like aphids, cabbage worms, and cucumber beetles. Plant oregano near peppers, tomatoes, and squash to keep pests away.


9. Marigolds: While not technically an herb, marigolds are effective at repelling a wide range of pests, including nematodes, aphids, and mosquitoes. Plant marigolds throughout your garden to deter pests and attract beneficial insects.


10. Lemon Balm: Lemon balm emits a lemony scent that repels mosquitoes, flies, and gnats. Plant lemon balm in containers or as a border plant to keep pests away from your garden.


By incorporating these pest-repelling herbs into your garden, you can naturally protect your plants from pests while enjoying the added benefits of fresh herbs for cooking and aromatherapy. Happy gardening! 🌿🌼
