Organic Marigold Seedling

Marigolds are the "workhorses" of the organic garden. While their bright orange and yellow blooms are beautiful, they are most prized by farmers for their ability to protect other crops from underground pests and harmful insects.

Why Grow Marigolds?

• Natural Pest Control: Their roots release a substance that repels harmful nematodes in the soil, protecting your tomatoes and peppers.
• Pollinator Friendly: They attract beneficial insects like ladybugs that eat aphids.
• Low Maintenance: Extremely hardy and drought-tolerant once established in the Gambian sun.

Planting Tip: For the best results, plant marigolds as "borders" around your vegetable beds. They love full sun and aren't picky about soil, making them perfect for beginners.
