🌿 Companion Planting Tip

Calendula draws in hoverflies, ladybugs, and bees, which help with both pollination and pest control. It pairs beautifully with tomatoes, carrots, and asparagus, helping deter aphids and beetles. Its petals can also enrich compost when spent blooms are removed. Avoid planting too close to shade-loving herbs, as calendula thrives best in full sun.
