Marigolds are versatile plants with various uses in both home and garden settings. Here are some lesser-known uses and benefits of marigolds, with a focus on their importance in the garden.
Euonymus fortunei Emerald n Gold

Euonymus fortunei emerald n gold, this popular and dare I say common evergreen shrubby plant is a good choice for the garden border giving interest the whole year.
A hardy brute which will thrive in any well drained soil sun or part shade. The bright golden variegated leaves are pink edged when the Winter sets in. At times you will see some of the leaves turning plain green, remove these stems to prevent the plant reverting. This Euonymus gives good ground cover but is also attractive as a specimen plant. I have seen it mentioned as growing to a height of 2/3 ft, I have never seen it reach this height in our garden, mind you I suppose this is because we keep it in check.
Hardiness – Fully hardy
Position – Full sun/part shade
Height – 60cm

This is another Euonymus Fortunei which has been in our garden, on this very spot for over twenty years. Silver Queen is the title bestowed upon this one, and has the RHS prestigious award of garden merit. See how it tumbles down from the border above, a clear indication that it could well reach the height of 3ft if left to its own devices. It is identical in habit to Emerald n Gold.

Golden Book Birdhouse
I love the Little Golden Books I don't know how many hours I spent reading them to my kids! I wouldn't normally suggest you destroy a perfectly good book, but when several pages have writing on them, or are ripped, you can always salvage some of it and re-imagine it into something else! I found several Little Golden books at Goodwill for 99 cents or less. I made sure none of the covers were damaged and they had at least a few usable pages. I wanted to make decorative birdhouses with them.
