And when sneaky beetles creep into the patch, munching leaves and causing trouble, will the helpful herbs come to the rescue?  With teamwork, understanding and a little bit of magic from Mari the Marigold, the plant friends discover that everyone has a role to play and that plants, like people, need friends to be able to grow!  Plants Need Friends Too! is a heartwarming adventure with companion planting techniques at its core.   Complete with wonderfully whimsical illustrations by Rose Gerrard, this book teaches lessons from nature and shows that being a good friend – just like a good companion plant – means helping others.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369240047989,"sku":"9781805704249","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781805704249_0d6bdf5f-1ead-498a-836a-cae86ac291a0.jpg?v=1786028345"},{"product_id":"no-need-to-weed","title":"No Need to Weed","description":"**FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NETTLES \u0026amp; PETALS**See 'weeds' with fresh eyes and garden more sustainably with bestselling author, Jamie Walton (@nettlesandpetals). What if the most overlooked plants in your garden were actually the most useful?
