    Marigold garlands are used in Hindu temples and festivals. Here in India, we do it a lot

      Oh yes...and they look so incredible. I thought the garland was so pretty. I bet that is quite a beautiful sight to see tons of marigolds in the temples. Wow!

      What do the marigolds represent? Or are they just used for their beauty?

    The colors are very autumnal. It would be nice if the dried flowers last until then.

      Hi Bernadette,
      That is a great question about drying the marigolds in silica. I am going to try that. I will post the results to the community tab so you can see how they turn out. Thanks for the suggestion. I agree that this garland is perfect for fall decoration. I am going to try making one for the fireplace mantel. I will have to soak the flowers in water first to make sure I don't get any "uninvited" visitors. How is your garden season going?

      I had no idea they were used as spices for meat. I love learning about flowers. When I was researching for this video I read on the Burpee Seed website that the first mention of marigolds is found in an Aztec Herbal dated back to 1552. The Herbal recommended marigolds for the treatment of hiccups, being struck by lightening, or "for one who wishes to cross a river or water safely". I think the history of plants is so interesting don't you?

In the Caucasus, tagetes are used to make cooking powder, called Imereti saffron. In France, flowers are grown on an industrial scale, as they are in great demand among gourmets, they are used in marinades.
