Now that the garden is in and starting to produce, we would love to have a group of people to help out regularly. If you would like to help in any way, please contact us! This could be as simple as watering the garden once a week or helping to pull weeds on occasion. We really want this to be a community effort.

We'd like to get official work days set up, but for now we'll be out there most Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6:30pm. You can always message us for specifics.

This is the first planting season the garden is in place, so if you have ideas and want to make them happen, let us know!

This is totally possible. Let's start small, plan carefully, and take the opportunity to bring our food back home. We live in an amazingly fertile land and can easily support ourselves without adding pollution in the form of transport, storage, and packaging.

Could fresh, healthy, affordable food be the future of urban neighborhood development? In Detroit, Michigan, “the first sustainable urban agrihood” in the U.S. centers around an edible garden, with easily accessible, affordable produce offered to neighborhood residents and the community. Each ye…
