The Marigolds Project will be reaching a milestone this year with its 15th anniversary as students at 50 schools begin growing them this week.
Students from Sussex to St. Stephen will be taking part with even a couple of the high schools joining in.
Organiser Barry Ogden tells CHSJ News as many as 160 thousand marigolds will be put into the ground and one of the big benefits is to empower students to believe they can make a difference for the better.
Ogden has been told the marigolds are now a must see for many of the cruise ship passengers.
