Nelson had grown sunflowers for years for seed and wildlife habitat at a farm he and his brother own in Golden City, Mo., but he had never worked with ornamental sunflowers. “The one thing that could put a smile on our face was that there was a market on every corner in San Francisco and every one of those markets had buckets of water with bunches of ornamental sunflowers in them,” Kelley explained.

Kelley’s adult daughter was undergoing emergency brain surgery in San Francisco, Calif. Please confirm your participation by Whatsapp (see info) or by private message on Facebook.History: Nelson and Kelley Nichols developed their dream of an ornamental sunflower farm in the midst of a difficult time. Plan sun protection (hats, cream, long-sleeved T-shirt), water bottles and gloves if you already have them (pairs of gloves will also be available on site to start the cleaning operation in completely safe). Young and old are welcome, whether with family, friends, or even solo, meetings are easily made around a cause as noble as that of the environment. Conviviality and good humor will be on the program, as well as hot soup and Johnny Cakes to reward participants after the effort. The morning cleaning will begin at 8 a.m., the call is launched to the whole community to make the territory of Saint-Martin cleaner. The Clean St Martin association, which organizes monthly cleaning operations, has decided to support the 120-year-old natural livestock family farm in Colombiers by participating in this Sunday's demonstration, while calling on volunteers to join the group.

The population is invited to participate in the clean-up operation scheduled for this Sunday, June 11 from 8 a.m. As the protest flyer states, despite multiple efforts since Hurricane Irma hit in 2017, a lot of debris still lies around the Golden Grove property in Colombiers.
