From Seeds to World Records: Greater Saint John Prepares 46 Marigold Gardens for 2026

Have delivered the marigold seeds, trays and soil. We are going to have 46 beautiful marigold gardens throughout Greater Saint John and our children ,teachers, EAs, volunteers, custodial staffs at many schools along with our municipalities are responsible for this. All 46 marigold gardens for this year(months of work) now have sponsors. It’s such a great feeling to have all the sponsors in place.

5 million marigolds and 11 times Guinness World Record Holders- we can do it !

For me decades of raising over $23 million dollars and gifts in kind for our community is so rewarding for the community you love and grew up in:

Loyalist House Refurbishment(Exiled American Refugees),240 murals created , decades of raising food,clothing,children’s books,sneakers,hats,mitts and boots and money for our food banks and other non profit institutions that help those in need,Marco Polo Tall Ship replica community project with a home and almost finished, 500 encampments and vacant lots cleaned along with 300 homes painted,4,000 spruce trees planted,tons of money for UNB Saint John and over many decades coaching and raising funds for registrations,uniforms,sports footwear for 8 boys and girls sports and refurbishing 6 fields is great but there is a lot yet to do for our community.

Love ❤️ Saint John
