Experienced gardeners utilize companion gardening to improve the growth of their plants. This means they plant certain vegetables and plants near each other. Marigolds are one of the best companion plants. They help vegetables grow big, strong, and healthy. 

Marigolds exist in Twin Rivers schools as well. They are our program mentors. They are our grade-level partners. They are our administrators, the custodian, secretary, or school librarian. Marigolds are all around us, and throughout the year, New Teacher Support will be reconginzing and celebrating the marigolds who support our newest Twin Rivers teachers through their first years of teaching.
