Every June, nearly 40,000 marigolds are planted by students along Main Street here in Saint John.
The Marigold Project is in it’s 18th year and has a new theme this year of going green.
In addition to planting marigolds, each participant will receive a spruce seedling to plant around their community.
This Thursday, 60 schools from Sussex to St. Stephen will take part in planting.
The event will include the planting of marigolds, a presentation of awards celebrating community volunteerism and the Centennial School Choir singing the Marigold Song.
