What are the flowers or plants that chase [[insects] away?

Now that I am doing my gardening job myself, I want to use every natural and environmental friendly means that I can to get rid of bugs and other insects. Strong chemicals used to eliminate insects can be more harmful than the insects themselves. I heard that Many types of bugs can be repelled using natural plants and flowers that you one grow at home and incorporate into an attractive flower garden. Does anyone know of any?
