There's still time to sow calendula and reap the rewards of beautiful golden orange flowers and its uniquely refreshing scent as fall arrives.

Resina Calendula is the strain most prized for its healing properties in salves and tinctures, and @studio.bailey 's gorgeous rendition of the plant reveres its extraordinary properties, each bloom graced by a halo (or nimbus) more commonly seen surrounding saints and holy figures.

These photos illustrate her process building up from pencil sketch to a gorgeous acrylic and gouache painting. The finished pack design and a gathering of blooms appear in the final slides. We especially love the seed detail in the fourth photo.

Calendula is quite cold hardy, and sowings made by mid-August will flower along with mums and pansies straight through until late November or early December. Easy to grow and the definition of cheerful, it is a welcome friend in any garden.

I’m so excited to team up with @hudsonvalleyseedco for lots of fun events! My work from the “Album Of Plant Families” will be featured in their gallery, plus they’ll be hosting and author talk and book signing on September 5th, right in the middle of their annual Tomato Festival!

I’ll have exclusive Tomato originals available at the event, and our collaborative gallery exhibition will be on display through November 9th.

Plus, I’m hosting an immersive, in-person Botanical Drawing Workshop on September 26th (you can register right on their website). 🌿 Spots are limited, so be sure to secure yours.

Can’t wait to see you at these events!

About: Here at the Hudson Valley Seed Company, we are both farmers and storytellers. We are committed to growing organically, sourcing locally and sustainably, and preserving crop diversity by selecting unique, rare, and hard-to-find varieties. Every seed in our catalog is open pollinated, many are heirloom and organic, and they are never GMO. We were one of the first companies to sign the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI), and we will remain committed to our values of sustainability to the last. We believe that a seed is more than meets the eye: it is a time capsule telling tales of the plants, crops, and people that came before us, and we work with a range of artists as diverse as our seeds to pass those stories down to present and future gardeners.

Rooted on an organic farm, the Hudson Valley Seed Company provides gardeners and farmers with plant products that thrive—and the resources they need to succeed. We channel the power of art and creative expression to revere the plants we share, and we aspire to do our work in a way that honors our human and ecological communities.

Each year in our Trials Garden, we put a portion of our catalog through its paces, evaluating the performance of a swath of varieties in our low-input, organically-managed field, one that is meant to replicate the growing conditions of the average home garden. We also trial new varieties—including unreleased cultivars from university breeders—against our current offerings, with the goal of finding new, resilient options for our customers.

This year's category? Cucumbers! 14 varieties from our catalog and 4 new potentials.

The trialing process begins in the greenhouse and doesn't end until the plants have senesced in the field, but the taste test is a highlight of the journey. In these pics, team members Crimson, Patrick, and Steven are evaluating for crispness, consistency, and texture, looking for a good crunch and easy-to-bite skin (tough skin = 👎). We are also pickling each of them to perform a "quick pickle test," to see which perform best in a typical home kitchen formulation.

This year's taste test gave us some real insights, including helping us identify a variety that may no longer be earning its place in our catalog. (It's hard to say goodbye to any variety, but life is too short for mediocre vegetables!)

If you grew any cukes from our catalog this year, feel free to share your own observations in the comments and we'll see how they align with our trials data!

🍅♥️ It's Tomato Fest time! Join us Saturday Sept 5 from 1 pm to 4 pm for a delightful afternoon in our gardens with crafts, music, seed processing, tomato tastings, tours, food, vendors, education and ecology. It's free with some activities having an additional cost. Book talk and signing with Wendy Hollender at 1:30 pm! Scroll through to see some of the amazing vendors and organizations joining us.
