A few weeks ago, Gardening Club planted some Calendula seeds with a lady from Bristol Zoo. She told us about all the amazing properties of Calendula and what it can be used for including: hand cream, tea and even toothpaste!

We all agreed that the Calendula seeds are very unusual. They look a little bit like tiny caterpillars! We planted the seeds into small pots and covered the top of the soil with vermiculate. We kept the plants inside until they had grown a few centimetres tall and then we put them outside.
They are doing really well now!

The flowers are going to be displayed at Bristol Zoo and at the famous Hampton Court Flower Show in London! We are very excited about this and will post photos of the flowers to the blog.
