Find Your Marigolds
Marigolds are great companion plants just like flower farmer friends are great friends!
๐ต Marigolds are the ULTIMATE companion flower! They are easy, vibrant, & cheery! They attract pollinators, but repel pests!
๐ตMarigolds are drought tolerant with abundant blooms until frost.
Sounds like the perfect flower & FRIEND!
I have been fortunate to find a few "marigolds" along my flower farming journey. I met Chrissy of Helena Hills Farm first. We met in 2023 at a Clemson agritourism event. She's amazing & kind! We share a love of flower farming & deep roots in Girl Scouts. We have since attended four more flower farming events together & a few private events. Chrissy met Alexis of Wild Goose Flower Farm, LLC during a Dept of Ag program and later introduced me to her at an agritourism conference. Alexis is a veteran, a nurse, a mom of 3, & a flower farmer! She's amazing! We've all become fast friends bonded by our flower farming journeys.
I love our supportive, noncompetitive vibe. We share tips, tubers, seeds, plants, links, & laughs. We're separated by hundreds of SC miles, so we've created our own private farm tour. We're alternating hosting each other at each of our farms for a farm work day! 3 weed pullers are better than 1, right, even if it's just for a day! ๐ My farm tour/work day is up next! The knowledge & support I have gained so far from Chrissy & Alexis has been invaluable!
Find your ๐ต MARIGOLDS! ๐ต Whatever it is you love to do, find & cherish the people who support you! There's no time for anything less! ๐ต
