What potential exists for symbiotic relationships between plant species in a garden to improve overall ecological health and resilience?

ANSWER: Symbiotic relationships between plant species, like nitrogen-fixing legumes supporting nutrient uptake for neighbors, increase biodiversity which in turn enhances soil health and resilience against pests and diseases. Companion planting can deter pests naturally, reducing the need for chemicals. These interactions promote a balanced ecosystem, attracting beneficial insects and pollinators, leading to a more productive and sustainable garden environment.
