We are looking for a Graphic Designer!
🌥⛅🌞
Tom, the Director of DA, has worked on a book that is in relation to our philosophy at DA. He needs someone to help him design the cover. He has a simple design in mind, but needs something he can send to the publisher. The title of the book is Peacemakers United: Spiritual Veganism as the Key to World Peace!

We got all the dahlia tuber clumps dug up yesterday!
💜💚💛
It was a cold start that did not get much warmer as the day progressed. But with sufficient layers and a little sunlight we were toasty!
Two new DA volunteers showed up! Surprisingly, Nicole a Windsor CA., citizen and Gary an American living in Windsor were part of the dig up. Turns out they had met previously! It really is a small world. 💜
It was great having a couple of neighbors from across the river with us. It was good energy and comradery all around.
💚💚💚
We will spend the next few days dividing the tubers.

Our Dahlia Dig up will start Tuseday, 11/11/25, 10 am at the flower farm, 248 Manistique St. We are looking for volunteers. 💜
🌸🌸🌸
Tuesday, we will start at 10 am at the farm digging up the tuber clumps. By mid day we will take the clumps down the street to our hoophouse.
We'll make sure to have delicious vegan food for a meal together!
During the afternoon we will start dividing the tubers.
🌸🌸🌸
Wed. - Fri. we will contunue dividing and when e are ready, we start wrapping the individual tubers for storage. We started using the American Dahlia Assoc. method of wrapping the tubers in saran as our method of storage. We had resisted this "plastic method" for years for obvious reasons. However, it works and we no longer experience losing hundreds of tubers.
🌸🌸🌸
Would you like to volunteer to help? Or maybe you grew dahlias but are not sure how to divide & store them. Come and we will show you how to divide. It's an art!
You can come for any part of the process. Please get in touch with Nancy at 313-434-5121 or [email protected]!

Halei and I crossed another fall chore off the list. Planting 2000+ Peony Tulip bulbs yesterday!
🌷🌷🌷
It is always a big decision on whether to plant tulips, or not. They are an expensive crop for us at around .67/bulb wholesale.
🌷🌷🌷
Another concern is changes to the worldwide tulip industry. The Netherlands which produces 80% of tulip bulbs, experienced a serious drought in 2023 and flooding in 2024. This caused a significant decline in bulb viability. We saw that in April and May of this year as we lost about two thirds of our tulip crop. They grew to maybe 8" in height but never formed blooms, or if blooms formed they were small and deformed.
🌷🌷🌷
And if that wasn't enough the industry has been hit with severe supply chain problems. You would think that all this would lessen the demand! Instead demand has increased significantly.
💜💜💜
When we first started our flower farm and made tulips a main spring crop in 2017 it was reliable with no issues. Fingers crossed that the bulbs we just planted are viable and that we do not have early spring heat!

Yesterday was the day we reclaimed the hoophouse!
Seven months and four days since the hoophouse fire we were able to get the new skin on and reclaim the growing space.
💜💜💜
- Two layers of Polyfill get laid out on top of each other the length of the hoophouse.
- Ropes were thrown over the hoophouse, reaching the opposite side.
- Tennis balls were tied to the two layers of plastic.
- Once the team is ready, the ropes were pulled on the far side drawing the polyfill over the top.
- Each side of polyfill was locked in with metal bars pushed into a channel above the roll-up.
- The high points at each end were secured with wiggle wire.
💜💜💜
The Goddess of the Wind was with us and there were just a few scary moments! Still many details to take care of, but the biggest task is done. We're so darn happy to have cover again and be able to reclaim the hoophouse beds for 2026 Ranunculus & Lisianthus crops.
Thanks to our super volunteers including Anthony, Dan and Diane who are not pictured. Shoutout to for super videos and phone support!

Leave the leaves! Your yard and garden are thriving ecosystems and habitats for countless forms of life. By leaving the leaves, you’re supporting local wildlife and creating a healthier garden for years to come.
🍂🍁🍂
Many of our trees serve as host plants and homes for insects. Fallen leaf litter provides a crucial overwintering habitat, offering insulation from harsh weather and shelter for these important pollinators and other insects.
🐛🐛🐛
Leaves act as a free, natural fertilizer, rich in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. As leaves decompose, they release these nutrients into the soil, supporting healthy plant growth and improving soil structure.
🍂🍂🍂
Rake leaves onto your garden beds to use as mulch. Over the winter, the leaves will break down naturally, enriching the soil and protecting plant roots from cold temperatures. For best results, spread the leaves in a layer about two to three inches thick.

It’s free—and with just a little effort, you can turn your fallen leaves into a valuable resource for your garden.

We have been busy putting the garden to rest for the winter and taking down the annual growth. So many chores and activities it boggles the mind.
💚💚💚
Bulbs and corms that need to be dug up and stored - Birds of paradise and Calla Lilies, Looking at you!
Bulbs and corms to plant - Tulips, Alliums, garlic and Ranunculus, that would be you.
🌷🌷🌷
And then there are the Dahlia tubers to dig up....
🌸🌸🌸
Not to mention the most important task that we think about daily, we need to put the new skin on the hoophouse. We have been working to clear around the hoophouse to make this possible.
💜💜💜
If you have time in your busy fall to help us by volunteering please get in touch with Tom at 313-434-5121 or email [email protected].

Join Us in a Vision

Detroit Abloom is a cut flower farm and nonprofit organization. The revenue generated from our flowers and services allows us to provide part time work and to continue growing at the farm.

In 2015 we acquired 9 vacant lots from the Detroit land bank Authority, and since then, added 6 more lots to make a total of 15 in the middle of a residential neighborhood, the 200 block of Manistique and Ashland. In just 3 years, we (Nancy and Tom), with the help of friends and volunteers, turned the lots into an attractive urban oasis, learned how to grow over 100 varieties of flowering plants and developed a comprehensive floral service business. We see a big future in using cut flower farming as a viable way to turn vacant land (much of it blighted) into beautiful and productive landscapes. We also thrive to protect native species of pollinating insects and have partnered with bees in the D to turn Detroit Abloom into an educational center. This year we will start a native plant nursery and build a butterfly house to help the Monarch butterfly population. And we LOVE volunteers!
