Mosquito season is here, which means many people are looking for ways to keep them away. Instead of exposing yourself to harmful chemicals, why not try some natural repellents? Several plants are known to help keep the bugs at bay.

According to Garden Design, plants like lavender, marigold, citronella grass (lemon grass), catmint, rosemary, basil, citronella/scented geranium, bee balm, mint, floss flower, sage, and allium work well.

Great places to look for these plants are:

• Gardener’s Supply

• Home Depot

• Dandelion Acres Garden Center

• Tractor Supply Co.

• E.C. Browns Nursery
