🌿 Companion Planting Tip

French Marigolds are a gardener’s best friend — plant them near tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers to deter pests and attract pollinators. Avoid planting too close to beans or cabbage, as their roots release compounds that can inhibit growth. Perfect for edging vegetable beds or filling planters with long-lasting colour.
