The Soothing Power of the Calendula Flower

Chances are, if you were to visit a medicinal flower or herb garden, it would be filled with the cheerful yellow and orange blooms of the calendula flower, a member of the daisy family commonly referred to as “pot marigold.” While it is an edible flower widely used in food and teas, calendula blossoms also contain nourishing qualities that can sooth dry and cracked skin when infused with a carrier oil. Honestly, it should be called “calendul-ahh”! Join us in making all-natural calendula body salve and lip balm! While the salve is simmering, we’ll sip calendula tea and plant flowers in pots to take home. Fun for all ages!
