Grow borage for the bees! They absolutely love it 🐝Borage is a super easy to grow plant (watch out it will self seed) with edible blue star-shaped flowers that taste faintly of cucumber! Perfect for decorating salads, cakes or avocado toast. Borage does get big, so we recommend planting it on the edges of garden beds or somewhere roomy. Pairs well with calendula, another edible superstar flower 🌼
