More information about the Marigold Project:
About the Marigold Project: this partnership between the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and Lazos America Unida, a nonprofit community group, has led to the creation of a community garden to grow Marigolds for the Day of the Dead celebrations, an important cultural event for the Mexican community as a rallying point for local Mexican and other Spanish-speaking communities to foster a cohesive sense of community. The program promotes economic development, urban gardening, job training and education. These elements are creating intergenerational and intercommunity links, making the project a successful model for mutual respect, agricultural microenterprise and community health.
