This was such a fun event with Lummi Nation School First graders. Over the week a few of the young children saw me and shared that their Calendula plants are alive and growing :)

The TPF grew Calendula plants from seeds and put them into small pots. The children got to decorate their own flower pot to take home. They also tried stinging nettle tea.
