Patrick Vernuccio on Instagram: "Learn about the Magic of Borage 🌿 A must-have in your garden, it has so many benefits 💚 I fell in love with Borage, the plant is beautiful and I love seeing pollinators enjoying its flowers. But it’s not only pleasing the bees or the eyes of the gardener, you can use it as a great companion plant repelling pests. That’s why I planted my strawberries all around and since then, they are super productive but the flavor of strawberries is also very fruity & juicy. Borage is also key for your soil.
