Saint John Horticultural Association

The Association operates two greenhouses and a cold frame greenhouse where they grow plants and flowers. Most of these plants and flowers are used in the public gardens. The Association maintains the gardens all year round for general use at no charge to the public. Some of the plants and flowers are sold to help with the costs of the public gardens. From April until early October the Association runs a campground in Rockwood Park. Any surplus from the campground operations are reinvested back into the campground through capital improvements with the remainder going to the public gardens. Violet Festival in May - sell flowers from the greenhouses and rent booths to vendors to sell their products Halloween Walk in October - tickets are sold for a walk through the campground that is decorated for Halloween Christmas market in November and December - charge an admission fee to the christmas themed market and rent booths to vendors to sell their products
