Mary's Gardens Stokes, John S., (John Stodgell), 1920-2007 Arrangement This collection is arranged in twelve series: Manuscripts and research Correspondence Articles and press Mary's Gardens records Mary's Gardens movement Catholic organizations and memberships Catholic pamphlets Gardening literature and ephemera Subject files Bonnie Roberson's papers Photographs, slides, and artifacts Audiovisual materials Biography of John S. Stokes Jr. John Stogdell Stokes, Jr., was born on October 21, 1920 in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. In 1942, Mr. Stokes earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Lehigh University. During the 1940s, he was employed by Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, Ohio and registered as a conscientious objector to World War II. Mr. Stokes was raised as a Quaker and converted to Catholicism in 1946. The following year he moved to the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and married Helen Patricia Schriever, with whom he had five children. Stokes developed an interest in medieval religious names, symbolisms and uses of flowers, particularly those associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary. Inspired by an article on a devotional garden planted in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Mr. Stokes cofounded "Mary's Gardens" with Philadelphia based partner Edward McTague in 1951. Stokes publicized Mary's Gardens through articles in Catholic publications, newsletters, and mail-order distribution of seed packets that promoted plants and flowers honoring the Virgin Mary. He focused efforts both on his garden as well as fostering a broader Mary's Gardens movement. Bonnie Roberson of Hagerman, Idaho later joined the movement and corresponded extensively with Stokes on this topic. While promoting Mary's Gardens, Stokes also became active in civil rights and social justice movements and served as the director of the Wellsprings Ecumenical Center in Philadelphia. During the 1960s, he taught interfaith courses at churches and synagogues throughout the city. During this time, he met Marion Metelits, whom he would later marry in 1973. Continuing to promote his garden and the Mary's Gardens movement, Mr. Stokes launched a website, mgardens.org, in 1995. Through his site, Mr. Stokes devoted the later years of his life to sharing his collection of flower photographs and extensive research on the Marian dimension of plants and flowers. According to his family, the site has helped to foster devotional gardens around the world, and Mr. Stokes is considered by many to be the founder of the Mary's Gardens movement. Mr. Stokes passed away in Philadelphia on November 14, 2007 at the age of 87. Access This collection is open and available to the public for research in the Marian Library reading room.

The collection includes over fifty years of Stokes' personal and organizational correspondence, primarily related to his interests on Mary and flowers, Catholicism, gardening, and the Mary's Gardens movement. He corresponded extensively with a few individuals, primarily Bonnie Roberson and Brother Sean MacNamara.

The collection also contains pamphlets, subject files, and other ephemera relating to Stokes' broad research interests in gardening, flowers, plants, herbs, the environment, Catholicism, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Marian art and stamps, social justice, and civil rights. Organizational records in the collection document the history and activities of Mary's Gardens, founded by John Stokes and Edward McTague in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1951. Additionally, materials in the collection document Stokes' activities in promoting the Mary's Gardens movement including planning devotional gardens at parishes and schools, primarily in the mid-Atlantic region and North America. Photographs, slides, and negatives in the collection document Mary's Gardens, Marian plants and flowers, exhibits, events, groups, and individuals associated with Stokes' Mary Garden in Philadelphia and the Mary's Gardens movement. The collection also contains the papers of Stokes' friend and Mary's Gardens affiliate, Bonnie Roberson. Roberson owned and operated Garden of Memories, a Mary Garden based in Hagerman, Idaho. She corresponded extensively with Stokes, primarily during the early 1980s before her death in 1983. Her papers also document her interest in Mary's Gardens for the blind and dish gardens, as well as her interest and involvement with Catholic and gardening organizations including, for example, the American Rose Society, the Herb Society of America, and the Idaho Council of Catholic Women.
