Marigold & Lavender


Guelph Independent Living residents came to the garden recently to check out their bed. Participants familiarized themselves with two very different smelling flowers: marigold and lavender. Both have very distinctive scents - marigold has a musky, pungent odor that tends to keep 'pests' away, making them an excellent companion plant. Most people prefer the sweet smell of lavender though, which can help calm the nerves and help those with insomnia.
