Marigold mural revived in Saint John
The large marigold mural on Main Street in Saint John was repainted by volunteers over the long weekend.
More than 150 people helped repaint the Main Street mural
Spring spruce ups were happening right across the province this weekend.
And along one thoroughfare in Saint John, 150 amateur artists took paint and brush to a fading wall.
After 11 hours of painting, the Marigolds Mural on Main Street was brought back to vibrant life by the volunteer painting crew.
The mural is a permanent reminder of an annual event, The Marigold Project.
Now in its eighteenth year, an expected 7,000 children from 50 schools at 50 different sites will be planting marigolds this spring.
