Bright Calendula is a great choice for attracting bees and other pollinators to your garden! Bees are especially helpful increasing your harvest yields of tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers. Plus, Calendula is edible and medicinal. Sprinkle it over salads or toast for a colorful pop, or make a beeswax handsalve to sooth your skin. Even if you don't harvest the blooms, they're lovely to look at!
