Wherever we grow, Marigold always takes root and anchors in the garden, energetically.
In a physical sense, Marigold is the silent army of the garden as it produces what is known as alpha-terthienyl, a substance that suppresses nematodes, which are microscopic worms that attack the roots of plants.
Strong roots = successful garden.
Plant around the border of beds and crops.
Through our wellness practice at The Harmony Lab, we suggest Calendula and Marigold often, where applicable, depending on the person’s constitution and way. It’s very powerful medicine and multi usage. For example, can be used internally for cramps and coughs, and topically for sunburn, eczema and so much more.
One of our favorite times of the year is when the marigolds begin to bloom, and it’s not because they are edible and delicious… Just about 3-4 days before they start deading, we like to pluck them… and here is why…

#MondayMeditation
Besides simple style “seated meditation”, my favorite way to “go in” and activate a meditative state is to make flower garlands, string flowers. A sure way to access the magic of consciousness and get in under the mind’s chatter with the intoxicating smell of a flower, the vibration of it’s design and presence.
Warning. The interaction can be a wonderful opening and can be especially activating and intoxicating, if you let it. Plus, afterwards you will have a stunning and precious garland imbued with all the goodness that you are.
Try it sometime. Cut the stems off your flower stalks. Use needled (embroidery needles work) fishing “wire” to puncture through the center of the bud and string away to desired length!
