The First Flowers Of The Season

We can't believe how quickly a year has gone! It feels like only yesterday that Jess and I (Jo here) popped up to the fields to pick the first calendula, before getting stuck in a lovely June rain storm!

We were very happy to see the first yellow flowers pop up earlier in the week, right on time!

The first crates of calendula

After a busy morning picking, Daniela headed back down the farm and we spent the afternoon doing a spot of team bonding by de-petalling each flower head in the sunshine!

An afternoon of de-petalling 

Once the petals are dry, they'll be sent out as confetti and will shower newlyweds on their big day! We all love being part of such a wonderful tradition.
