Community Garden Program

Vacant lots, remade as neighborhood gardens.

We partner with the Detroit Land Bank Authority to turn long-vacant parcels into productive community gardens — feeding neighbors and teaching residents how to grow.

How it works

Our staff and volunteers prepare beds, plant seasonal crops, and steward each site through the growing season. Neighbors are welcome to help, learn, and take produce home.

Help us grow

Every raised bed starts with a neighbor and a donor.

Your gift funds soil, seed, and installations in Detroit neighborhoods that need fresh food most. Volunteers keep gardens alive all season long.
