As most gardeners know, marigolds are a helpful resource to other plants, they repel bugs and help other plants grow healthy. Mrs Cady Caskey’s second grade classes at Provencal Elementary had this in mind when they planted their garden full of marigold seeds back in February. They tended to them each week until May, and then happily delivered the beautiful flowers to each teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week to let them know they are appreciated and share the beautiful, unique qualities of the marigold.

Mrs Cady Caskey and her three 2nd grade classes are pictured.
