Umbellifers
Umbellifers also known as carrot or celery family, are flowering plants with hollow stems and divided leaves. They produce umbrella-like clusters of flowers that attract beneficial insects such as hoverflies and parasitic wasps, making them great for pest control in gardens. Some common umbellifers include parsley, dill, and fennel, all of which have culinary and medicinal uses.
