LOCAL Garden Coordinator Laurie Burhoe has made her own using this recipe in past years. Calendula, in the marigold family, are flowers that have a huge variety of uses. Oil made from the flowers is gentle and cooling, perfect for anyone spending a lot of time outdoors and is exceptional for those with sensitive skin. Join Burhoe to get the recipe using coconut oil, beeswax and lavender essential oil.
This is a light rain or shine event. Due to limited capacity, registration is required by visiting www.kennebecestuary.org/ or by calling (207) 442-8400. The LOCAL Garden is located at the corner of High and Lemont streets. This program was sponsored by the Merrymeeting Bay Trust and the Whole Kids Foundation.
