What Not to Plant Together... and Why It Matters in Life, Too

🌿 Not Everything Grows Well Together — And That’s Okay

In this powerful and poetic guide, What Not to Plant Together explores the quiet wisdom of incompatible garden pairings — and how those same truths reflect our own lives.

From root crowding to nutrient depletion, author Kellesia Sharay shows how certain plants — like onions and beans or mint and anything uncontained — simply don’t thrive side by side. The same can be true for people, habits, and relationships.

✨ In this book, you’ll discover:

Why cucumbers and sage struggle together — and why misalignment in life can drain your energy

How tomatoes and corn attract shared pests — and how shared wounds can magnify harm

Why mint is best in a pot — and how some people need boundaries to avoid overwhelming you

Why letting go is not a failure, but an act of self-trust and growth

With each chapter pairing a garden lesson and a life reflection, plus grounded “Try This” prompts, this book becomes a gentle companion in your journey toward clarity, boundaries, and emotional wellbeing.

🌼 Because just like in the garden, real confidence often begins with knowing what no longer belongs.
