Grow These to Avoid Pesticides
Four major plant families contain plants so useful in supporting beneficial insects, I've decided to highlight them in this video.
From the thumbnail:
1) The carrot family (Astrantia pictured) 3:20 in the video
2) The mint family (Agastache pictured) 9:31 in the video
3) The mustard family (Erysimum pictured) 5:21 in the video
4) The sunflower (or daisy) family (Calendula pictured) 7:35 in the video
I made this video as a companion piece to the interview I has on the Rosechat Podcast: https://rosechat.podbean.com/ They're a great resource for the rose community, and well worth checking out.
Planting diverse flowering plants from across these four families (and indeed you could include a much wider diversity in this list) will help to stabilize predator and pest populations on around your garden. It doesn't mean you'll be pest free, but it might mean (as it has for me) that you won't have to spray the "hard stuff" as much or at all.
