No part wasted!!
These marigold flowers are picked (sparingly) from each plant. We use marigolds all summer long to keep certain types of pests from getting into our garden, then we pick them and dry them to use as fall π decorations, and this year we plan to even keep them to decorate our Christmas tree π² οΏΌ
βοΈ Then at the end of winter, their seeds will be used to grow more plants for next years pest control.
We believe in using as many sustaining practices as we can, and I want to keep parts of our garden with us all year long. We cannot wait to see how these decorations come out after just a couple weeks of drying ππ§‘π€π§‘ποΏΌοΏΌ
