Why Spacing Matters

Proper plant spacing is essential for a healthy garden. When plants are too close, they compete for sunlight, water, and nutrients, which can lead to weak growth, fewer blooms, and more pests and disease. Giving plants the right amount of space allows their roots to grow strong, their leaves to breathe, and their natural shape to develop. A little planning now leads to healthier plants, a cleaner-looking garden, and less work later.
