Identification of golden flowers in food plant section of UBC Botanical Garden

Hi there,

we saw these beautiful golden flowers in two large pots on each side of a garden bench on the west side (the South-West Marine Drive side) of the food plant garden in the UBC Botanical Garden. The little wooden bench is directly east of the newly to be planted Garry Oak area. The flowers look similar to "black-eyed Susans" (?) but aren't.

Any idea what they are?

Thanks for your help!

 

the flowers in the tubs are calendulas, i don't know the variety....the flowers are edible
