Marigold Mile Planting
In partnership with the Gardening Warriors (subcommittee for the Communities in Bloom program), the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce volunteers each spring along with students from Armstrong Elementary, Highland Park and Len Wood Schools to help our Public Works Crew and Gardening Warriors plant Marigolds along the “Marigold Mile” on Pleasant Valley Road between Smith Drive and Mill Street.
