Did you know that plants can be real lifesavers?

Summer is only a couple of months away, and you’re eagerly waiting for it, right? But do you know who else loves summer? Those annoying little bugs that are so happy to spread their wings and fly towards your home and intrude on your private oasis. Ugh! And instead of bathing in the sun and enjoying the sunshine and the warmer temperatures, you will have to get back in the house because they will come to disturb your peace.

While you might believe that chemical repellents are the only thing that can help, I’m here to tell you that this isn’t necessarily the case. Planting strategically near the patio and garden seat can have a significant impact on the pests that are drawn to the area and those that are repelled by it. Even better, all these ten plants are easily accessible. Grow your plants from seeds or purchase young plants from a plant nursery.
