I have just harvested what is probably the last crop of calendula flowers for the season; and what a crop it's been! From just ten plants I have gathered over 500 flower heads, which will yield enough petals for about 500 bars of soap, bags of Bath Powder or Bath Salts. We've grown them using organic methods, with compost that we made from our kitchen waste, and plant food made from comfrey that we have also grown. I'm delighted that our little garden has done so well.
So now our Grapefruit & Geranium range of products will be that little bit more eco-friendly - the calendula at least has a zero carbon footprint.
