This garden is grateful for the rain! It made our fall crops; peas, bok choi, broccoli, cabbage and more happy!

And it made the gardeners happy to see the rain collection system full for the first time since early June. It’s been a long, dry summer.

The garden is feeling sad.

When you help yourself to veg in the back portion of the garden: you are taking food from members of the community who paid to garden here. The back portion of the garden is for volunteers and allotment gardeners only.

If you are in need- please contact us.

It’s the last week before school begins; so the last week with our friends from Children's Discovery Academy. They have been incredibly helpful in the garden. We picked veggies and fed the compost bin, learned about how much our food weighs with our new scale and found insects!

We dropped off their harvest for the food pantry today. Tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes 😊

Our garden will continue to grow into the fall.

We’re delighted to be selected as an awardee for the MyMichigan Health Creating Healthy Communities - Together grant program, which supports “programs and projects that have a positive impact on health outcomes in each of the communities we serve.”

The grant will allow us to invest in materials that sustain the garden like compost and gardening tools. We’re grateful for support that allows us to do good work in the community!

Pictured are some of the awesome plants—cherry tomatoes , tomatillos, and sunflowers—growing in the garden right now 🌱
