Grow your very own blue! With Japanese indigo, you can dye natural fibers rich shades of blue.

Calendula is an annual plant that produces a multitude of orange and yellow flowers. Also called garden marigold, it is grown both for its ornamental appeal and for its medicinal properties. We use the edible flowers in herbal tea and its petals will nicely decorate your salads. Commonly used in the manufacture of balms, calendula would have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Generous and very easy to grow, it will flower until the autumn frosts.
