A True Story from the Farm

Calendula holds a special place in my heart—and not just because of its beauty and benefits. One day, as I was carefully cutting calendula blooms to press in a book for our VIP Circle, something unexpected happened. As I reached for a flower, a small garter snake uncurled itself from the plant, hiding among the leaves, and bite!—it nipped me! Startled, I jumped back, t and the little snake wiggled off to the other side of the flower bed, as if nothing had happened. I laughed, the cat jumped and I moved on shaking my head at the adventure that came with harvesting such a magical plant. It was a reminder that nature is full of surprises, even in the most serene moments.
