(Calendula officinalis)
Calendulas are great for pollinators because they provide a great source of nectar for them and have a long flowering period which you can extend by deadheading them. The few I cut down I used for my sage bundles. You can even throw the petals into your salad to make it a more colourful and exciting mélange! Alternatively, you can infuse them into a base oil for skin care - sunflower oil works great. A great natural remedy for soothing and healing many skin types and conditions.
