Eden & DaneGuild in a Bucket
The fastest way to understand companion planting guilds - a condensed, single-page-per-guild reference covering what to plant together and why it works.
A planting guild is a group of species planted together because they support each other, one fixes nitrogen, another draws pollinators, another suppresses weeds or deters pests. Understanding this concept properly usually takes reading several longer guides. This condenses it into a single fast reference.
Rather than one deep dive into a single guild, this covers the core logic across several common guild types, structured as quick single-page references you can pull up while you are actually planning a bed, not sitting down to study.
What's included
For a quick answer,
not a deep dive.
If you already have a sense of what you are planting and just want a fast sanity-check on good companion combinations, this is built for that moment, not for someone wanting the full underlying theory.
For a deeper treatment of one specific guild, our individual guild field guides (Apple, Fig, Pawpaw, and others) go further. This is the fast-reference entry point.
What to know before you buy
This is intentionally condensed - if you want the full depth behind a specific guild, our individual single-species guild field guides cover more ground.
Pairs well with any plant purchase as a quick reference for what to plant alongside it.
